Simon Gilbert Wines have become a personal favourite since discovering their fantastic cellar door nestled among the hills on the way out of Mudgee. They are producing premium tasting wines that are smooth, balanced and fruit driven and very reasonably priced.
I’ve never been really excited by a Cab Sav before, but this one is pretty good. It’s not going to win any awards or get really noticed but it’s a lovely quaffer. Dark crimson in colour, the nose displays berry and fruit hues mixed with oak. On the palate there are rich blackberry flavours, balanced with soft tannins and a subtle oak fisnish. This wine is a drink now wine which benefits from decanting, the flavours really open up. It would compliment a wide variety of food, and would be a particularly good pairing with BBQ or Italian.
Would i buy this wine again?
For sure, it’s a good value wine at only $15 a bottle, and it’s easy drinking.
This review is on the money. Its a friendly dry red wine with a nice balance of fruit & tanin at a good price. Approachable even for non wine drinkers.

We were cruising down the British Columbia coast and rescued a boat . They gave us this bottle of Cab Merlot which we love and will try them all now. I am interested in knowing if the card collection is available to buy as I would like to get them for my grandchildren.Thanks Cathy
