About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Caberent SauvignonCoonawarra, AustraliaMythology began with Phoenix, our award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon; the splendid bird rising from its ashes. We could say it symbolised our rebirth or renewal; it certainly inspired a wonderful series of accessible wines. However, the truth is a little more prosaic – Phoenix was the name of the distillery purchased by Douglas and Frank Tolley.

Bright, youthful hue; an appealing medium-bodied palate brings cassis, spice and cedary French oak onto centre stage, tannins in the wings. A good commercial cabernet from the right region.
