Thomas Goss McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon, 2016

I tried this wine at a tasting hosted by Old Bridge Cellars and thought it was worth the $14 price tag. Like the Shoo Fly Shiraz I reported on previously, it is produced by Ben Riggs from McLaren Vale fruit.

Deep and dark. Mulberries, blue plums and oak-derived spice. Full bodied but carries its 14.5% alcohol fairly well. At this stage of development, the ripe fruit is peeking through the substantial oak tannins. I would say it is still worth the $14 price tag.
