Fischers. 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon


General: After buying this, I discovered it is the private label of a small wine chain here. I tasted it two weeks ago and didn't like it. I retasted my second bottle tonight with similar results.
Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot
Region/GI: Fleurieu, Langhorne Creek, SA
Alcohol: 14.3%
Bouquet: The bouquet is very nice - very plummy with a hint of vanilla. (If I tasted this blind, I would not guess Cab Sav)
Flavour: Not good. Simple and rather flat, the only good thing about it is the dry finish.
Points: 76
Notes: At $15 (270 Kc) there is so much better wine on the market. I won't be trying this brand for a very long time.
