Mcwilliam's Cabernet
Everyday Australian reds, honestly priced, stocked in Commack.
The story behind Mcwilliam's
Cabernet Sauvignon is the structured red most of us know first: dark fruit, a firm spine of tannin, and a finish that cleans up after a steak. Australian bottlings like this one tend to be generous and ripe up front, with blackcurrant and a little cedar, and they drink well young without demanding a decanter.
We keep McWilliam's Cabernet Sauvignon and McWilliam's Shiraz on the shelf here in Commack in small numbers, one or two bottles at a time. Call ahead and we will tell you exactly what is on hand before you drive over.
