St John’s Road ‘Line & Length’ Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 $20 ★★★½
Here’s a bottle of banging Barossa cabernet that’ll tick all your boxes if you’re looking for bolshy sweet plum and blackcurrant notes, chocolate, peppercorn and classic minty characters. There’s a plush, fleshy sweetness, fruitcake spices and a smoky, toasty finish that just cries out for beef sausages straight off the BBQ. www.winedirect.co.nz
