The Cigar is Yalumba's Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, from their Distinguished Sites range. Coonawarra in South Australia is the region Australians point to for Cabernet, and the reds from there usually carry a distinctive mint or eucalyptus lift alongside the dark fruit.
Straightforward with grilled lamb or a rib eye. Also an easy gift for someone who drinks Australian red and wants something more specific than a big brand blend.
Tasting notes
Coonawarra Cabernet typically shows blackcurrant and dark cherry with mint, eucalyptus and cedar from oak, firm but even tannins and a dry finish.
