Australia, land of kangaroos. But also of excellent wines, often made from international grape varieties. Like this Tolmer Cabernet Sauvignon, offered here by Penley Estate. A modern, eye-catching label, this wine comes from the Coonawarra region and is made from 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Tolmer, as its producers explain, is a modern expression of Coonawarra's Cabernet, rich in aromas and flavors reminiscent of ripe fruit, medicinal herbs and spices. Over all, cranberries, bay leaves and a delicate touch of cinnamon. Medium-bodied, never excessive, it can count on fine, well-integrated tannins. The finish, long and pleasant, hints at good cellar aging potential. For those looking for a structured but pleasantly drinkable red wine, this bottle is the one. On the table it calls for flavorful pairings, such as with classic pasta alla Norma or medium-aged cheeses.
