Well-balanced sweetness. Dark berries and plums that sparkle, or bubble even. Notes are worth journaling because they’re mulberry and a stingy piece of dark chocolate – apparently, I break off too much and need to be ‘monitored’ at family functions when the block comes out. Don’t worry, it’s on my list of things to work through with my therapist.

Gudilly Sparkling Shiraz NV

Gudilly Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Blackcurrant pastille and espresso-like tannins. This’ll make a lot of folks happy, and not just because of the price. It’s the sweet plum, blackberry and vanilla oak that’ll get every drinker dancing and the slight International Roast freeze dried vibe will make everyone happy with nostalgia.

Mo Sisters Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Roasty and toasty with notes of coffee and chocolate, with a nice dose of smooth oats in the glass. YUM! (355ml) 5.4% ABV
