Redman Coonawarra The Redman 2022

 

Redman’s flagship, The Redman, comes in a big, weighty bottle that means business. You could wield it at an intruder and they’d likely flee - unless they recognise the label, in which case they might just stay for a glass.

This wine takes its time to reveal itself, slowly unfurling over several days. Made for the long haul, it leads with the hallmarks of classic Cabernet in a traditional frame. Think bay leaf, thyme, sage, black olives and a ripple of licorice. The blackcurrant and blackberry fruit play a supporting role, weaving through leathery and earthy undertones. The savoury drive commands attention, yet it carries itself with attractive elegance. Decant it well or give it time in a dark place. Either way, you'll be rewarded.
