Auriginal Australian 2001

Auriginal 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% vol.


After a good red wineing last week, i was much spurred on for another bottle. 

This bottle, flavored favourably to go with Abalone or freshly shucked Oysters really had us pining for the missing shellfish. I had thought only white wine goes with seafood; this red just does it.

Produced by Galafrey Winery & Vineyard in Western Australia, and I mported by our local Horse Brand Bird's Nest, the wine dazzled with an attractive earthy blackcurrant aftertaste. I really like it. 

But we did suffered a mild hangover of headache - something that's atypical of red wines.
