With Barossa stars shiraz and grenache usually getting all of the attention, cabernet sauvignon can fly under the radar. The Lou Miranda Golden Lion cabernet sauvignon is a case in point, a returning favourite from one of the best. There’s more body and cassis ripeness here compared to cool-climate examples, while it still delivers cabernet’s trademark structure and tannin.
With 24 months in oak, the balance is bang on, delivering lovely cedary notes to support its core of purple fruit. Definitely worth opening now to enjoy with your Sunday roast lamb - and one that can comfortably handle time in the cellar. If you can resist.
