Wangolina The Originals Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 from Mt Benson is a dark, coastal cabernet with ripe black fruit, savoury detail and a fresh, sea‑breeze lift that keeps it from feeling heavy. Blackcurrant, black cherry and plum blend with bay leaf, tobacco and cedar on the nose. The palate is medium‑full with fine, gravelly tannins and a long, dry finish.

Flavour‑wise, you get cassis and mulberry over subtle leafiness and dusty spice, showing both ripeness and cool‑climate definition. There’s enough structure to age, but it already drinks well after a short decant, especially if you like your cabernet savoury rather than sweet and jammy.

On the table, Wangolina The Originals Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is spot‑on with grilled steak, lamb cutlets, roast beef, slow‑cooked shanks, lasagne or moussaka, and sharp cheddar or other hard cheeses.
