Imbibe Team highlight our entry level Californian as a top house wine option
Friday, 22 January, 2010 by ZoeT
Paradise point Cabernet Sauvignon is listed as a top pick by the Imbibe Team and classed as a great wine that you should be trying. The wine is characterised as a medley of squishy purple and black plums and cherries on the noise and palate- an excellent house wine candidate.
