Red wine | South Eastern Australia
Ah, the 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon - a wine with a story as captivating as its taste! This isn't just a bottle of wine; it's a glimpse into the lives of the 19th-century British convicts who were banished to Australia for committing one of the 19 crimes that could get you shipped across the ocean. Each bottle is a tribute to their resilience and rebellious spirit, and this particular Cabernet Sauvignon embodies that boldness. 
Crafted in South Eastern Australia, this wine is a testament to the region's ability to produce robust and flavorful Cabernets. The grapes soak up the Australian sun, resulting in a wine that is both rich and inviting. On the palate, expect a firm and full-bodied experience. Aromas of dark berries, violets, and a hint of vanilla swirl together, creating a symphony of flavors that dance across your taste buds. The wine has a rich mouthfeel that makes it a perfect companion for food. The 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the bold, new world style wine with a good dose of aging, and a good structure.
This wine is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairings. Its robust character makes it an ideal match for grilled steaks, hearty stews, or even a simple burger. The dark fruit notes complement the richness of the meat, while the vanilla undertones add a touch of elegance. If you're a cheese lover, try pairing it with aged cheddar or a creamy blue cheese – the wine's boldness will cut through the richness of the cheese, creating a delightful balance. 
But beyond the taste, this wine is about more than just flavor, it is about history and a celebration of the underdog. So uncork a bottle of 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon, raise a glass to the rebels of the past, and enjoy a wine that is as unforgettable as the stories it tells.
Quite enjoyable! Bold fruit, a touch oak, and not too heavy. Perfect for a weeknight dinner. I'd buy it again.
