Photo taken from Moodle
Name: Mt. Monster
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Limestone Coast
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: $8.95, Frontline $14 Sale

Winery Review: Deep purple in color. Classic aromas of lifted blackcurrant, blackberry and mint on the nose. Flavors follow through of sweet berry-fruit accented by fresh muddled mint. Elegant, structured palate with big velvety tannins.

My Review: Blueberry, raspberry and blackberries with a touch of mint. This Cabernet Sauvignon had a lot of tannins, finishing with a dry, puckery feeling. It was full-bodied and had clarity in the taste of the berries. Pretty good for a red wine in my opinion!

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
