About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonCoonawarra, AustraliaThe Harold Vineyard was planted in 1971 on a shallow ridge in the terra rossa soil. It was named after Harold Childs who farmed the area prior the selling the land to Wynns.
The 2018 Harold Cabernet is a classic example of medium-bodied Coonawarra Cabernet from an excellent year in the Wynns terra rossa vineyards. Aromas of bright lifted violets and classic red cherries. The palate is a classic Coonawarra amalgam of dark and red berries with a refreshing dried mint note. Fine French oak frames the tannins.

Quite lush, lavish, loaded with flavour, oozing liquid spice, slick with silky yet firm ribbons of tanning, a succulent, fresh, gently sweet finish. Lots going on here. A big experience without being full of booze and ripe fruit. Complex is a good word, albeit often overused in wine. Fills the palate with generosity but remains perky and taut. It gives me a sense of ‘secondary characters will make this wine better with time in cellar’ almost immediately. Drink now, for sure, but patience is the game here.

This is just the third time that Harold has flown solo in its 49 year history, and it's been worth the wait. It presents impressive blackcurrant density and concentration in the midst of medium-bodied poise, scaffolded impeccably and equally with chalk mineral texture, fine-boned fruit tannins, judiciously deployed French oak (30% new) and the acid vibrancy of long, slow autumn ripening. It presents magnificent presence and carry on an enduring finish. Drink 2028-2038
