Wine is a personal thing, so what's "better" for one person isn't for another - otherwise we'd all be trying to buy the one single bottle! So, I appreciate you're rating this particular one highly.
That said, I did an export from CellarTracker of my Cabernet/Cabernet blend purchases in the $0-40 range for the past 12 months - I don't buy a lot in this range (I tend to buy older/more expensive cabernets), but there's still a huge array of good deals. I'm sure others can chime in with their deals too. Given the range of stuff that $30/bot buys these days, I'll avoid splashing out for $30 2011 SA vintage with less than stellar reviews.

Edit: removed swapped bottles, and a couple I haven't tried yet.
Do you enter in your Cellartracker what you paid overall or the retail price? I enter cost after discounts.
I see you were not the one who said "avoid better to be had" however I was trying to keep the deal secret as when things get out like this and it's not meant to be the price everyone can miss out. I have protected mistake pricing on redemption flights I have shared with others on AFF like this.
I know wine is a personal thing so when I did my DD on the wine, actually drinking it, I posted what is a good deal.
This thread is Dan Murphy's and other wine deals after all, so this deal that was shot down by Sedimental, without tasting, doesn't benefit anyone. This wine in my opinion now punches above the 2 year old reviews that were not that bad anyway. James did say "[FONT=&]otherwise delicious cabernet". Other than that there is not many reviews out there. [/FONT][FONT=&]
[/FONT]The wine is selling for $28.40 in six bottle buys online or $46.99 for a single bottle. Other sites have it for $49.09 TEUSNER Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 - wine online by cellar d'or (cellardor.com.au) or $51.90 2011 Teusner Wines 'Eden Valley' Cabernet Sauvignon
With Dan Murphy's I know many on AFF can purchase with a cash rewards scheme and also discounted wish gift card, bringing it down to $24.15 a bottle and DM100 gives free delivery as well.
I too don't buy a lot of Cabernet in the $0-$60 range however as I enter the price I acquired for after all discounts it brings up some interesting bottles including Black Label Wolf Blass acquired as bonus bottles through Epiqure, must have drank 2 of each of the 05 and 06 so good to see I have a couple of each left. Anyone got any of that blended port you got as an Epiqure joining bonus years back? still got one left! Above $60 in Cabernet including blends I have names like Bin 707 and 169, Xanadu Stevens, Jack Mann, John Riddoch, Woodlands, Yarra Yering, Hillcrest etc.
All I did was post what was a cracker wine at a cracker price and I tell you there has been some rough ones posted by those who like to criticise.
I just notices the Seppelt Moyston has 82 points on CT, crazy!
