Cumulus Climbing Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine is an easy drinking, medium bodied red.  Halliday describes the flavours as 'powerful blackcurrent, cassis and cedar, with touches of bitter chocolate; fractionally green tannins', which is pretty accurate. Quite nice - recommended medium bodied red.  13.5 % alcohol, approx $17.

Stone House 2007 Coonawarra Rose

Dave won't let me drink any more wine until I write tasting notes.  We drank this Rose on a Saturday night - it was our second bottle after a bottle of chardonnay (the most of which I drank). We wanted something a little sweeter to have with the yummy duck curry I bought.  This wine went well, was pretty tasty and cheap at $6 a bottle from Dan Murphys. Recommended.
