16a Fruit mushed with certain consonants in Spooner's gob. (8) ?A?E?N?T

looks like CABERNET. The wordplay may be missing an "E". I can see the consonants of CeRTaiN in cabernet but not the fruit or the Spoonerism ?

[ProfessorMaisie]

'nasal hut' is the Spoonerism ('[mu]shed' = 'hut').

[pomona]

Thanks for that ProfessorMaisie...where is the "E" required to go with the extra "E" in 14a6d

[pomona]

...sorted ...eta isn't E doh!

Please could you explain the "certain consonents" bit.
