A powerful McLaren Vale Cabernet representing very handy value.
Sourced from two sites - one at Blewitt Springs and the other at Sellicks Foothills in the south, the finished wine saw 12 months in French oak, 30% of which was new.
A big, sturdy wine, it's mouthfilling, drying and saps moisture leaving you puckering. A pretty cerise hue greets the eye before dark chocolate coils itself around black fruits. Well balanced oak meshes with some dried herbs and it's that herby factor which hangs on and elevates my interest. Handy value and a scoop purchase if you can find it under $20.
