McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

McLaren Vale certainly has a reputation for its world-renowned shiraz, while in its shadow of late, the other great Australian red variety, cabernet sauvignon, continues to perform at the top of its game. Over the years the region’s cabernet has been awarded several of the most esteemed trophies in the world of wine – and here you can see why. Organically sourced grapes illuminate every sip of this wine, gorgeous black fruits and blue berries driving the flavour wheel of this typically full-bodied, powerful and richly textured sensory delight. Aromatically it is true to variety, subtle mint, florals and herbals lifting out of the glass while earthier, mid-dark chocolate palate feels, emanating from maturation for 22 months in French oak, stay steadfast underneath. Cabernet’s rich tannins are recognised here, too, with deft winemaking styling the finish to be toned, modern, and graceful.
