Oliver's Taranga 2006 Vine Dried Cabernet SASep07 is sealed under screwcap and will sell for $28 when it is released in November. The bouquet shows earthy notes, mushroom and red berry aromas. Distinct, obvious fruit delivers juicy jube-jube characters to the palate with blackcurrant, meaty flavours, blackberry, tar and mocha oak. It's a muscular-weight wine backed by silky tannins that produces a supple consistency and rock solid structure. Its sophisticated complexity makes it both an interesting and a good wine. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value.
