Mudgee Cabernet. It's big, it's boisterous and it's damn comforting. Need a cuddle on the inside? Here's your weapon. In a line up of similarly priced Cabernets, this finished on top and shows you don't need to drop a bomb to snare a great drop.
Loaded with depth and generosity, this is quite an interesting wine that shows great development the longer it sits in the glass.
Charcoal, toasted oak, black fruits, earthiness - what a cracking start. Dried herbs add a soft touch around the fringes but dark berries really find some form in the mid-palate rising up. Such an engaging wine, this is fire pit or snuggles on the lounge material with the option of binge watching a series. Meaty tannins seal the deal driving home a long and detailed wine. Give me more. Nah, give me it all. Well played winemaker Tim Stevens.
