Deeply coloured, structured reds with a deep ruby robe, smooth tannins and preserved acidity under warm conditions, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, spice and blackcurrant-leaf herbal notes. Round palate, fruity finish. Productive and heat-tolerant, it produces high-volume reds in California (Central Valley), South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Mexico and Israel. Californian variety created in 1936 by Harold Olmo at UC Davis (Cabernet Sauvignon × Carignan).
Australian diversity from cool to temperate climate. Yarra Valley and Mornington: fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth), taut, mineral Chardonnay. Heathcote: structured Shiraz with black fruits, pepper and chocolate. Rutherglen, fortified capital: opulent sweet Topaque and Muscat (raisin, caramel, fig, roast notes).
