Here is an easy-drinking Cabernet with plenty of varietal character!

Kangarilla Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
McLaren Vale, Australia $22
We Bought a Bunch $18.99
What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Spectator 90 Points
A harmonious wine that's crisp, juicy and lively with red berry, red cherry and subtle herbal overtones, which keep pulsing through the racy finish. Best from 2008 through 2015. 2,500 cases imported. –HS

What We Thought: A classic Cabernet nose of cedar and cassis is followed by a thick blackberry jam palate supported by some well-integrated tannins, and finishes as soft as it begins.
