Mt. Monster 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Limestone Coast)

Country: Australia /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Winery: Mt. Monster / Limestone Coast

The Limestone Coast, which encompasses the noted regions of Coonawarra and Padthaway, is known for its Cabernet and its big gum trees. There’s certainly more than a bit of mint to this wine, but there are also notes of cassis and even a hint of bell pepper. It does turn a bit astringent on the finish, so pair it with lamb chops or hamburgers. Drink now–2020.
