Mac Forbes

Hugh Cabernet Blend

Gruyere planted in 1996, is located in the warm lower Yarra Valley, less than 1km south of Coldstream and at a similar altitude of 110m. The Bordeaux blend is still arguably the most successful of all grapes or blends from the Yarra Valley. At relatively low alcohols the wines are elegant, perfumed and ripe. While approachable as a young wine – the 2012 Hugh by Mac Forbes will age gracefully for twenty plus years. In this wine Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant variety and is complimented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
