Black Opal - Cabernet Sauvignon '08


Black Opal is from South Eastern Australia. Open the screw top cap and smell the beautifully sweet aroma...mmm, this is a good one!

Screw top cap??? Why, you ask? According to the Black Opal website "A screwcap provides a perfect, inert seal that allows the wine in each bottle to mature naturally and uniformly, developing its true personality. It prevents the wine from being affected by any of the cork-related flaws that result in unpleasant odors and flavors, such as cork taint or premature oxidation."
