Howard Park is reliably good value, and this is a strong new addition to Tesco's Australian line-up. Good Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon doesn't come cheap, and you're getting a lot of bang for your buck with this wine, which spent 18 months in French oak before release. Fresh and fragrant, this has a perfume of cassis and dried herbs, supple tannins and ripe fruit. Accomplished winemaking on display here, and much to enjoy if you're after a full-bodied but not overblown New World Cabernet.
