From one of South Australia’s premium sub-regions, and a winner of a Gold medal at the 2023 New Zealand International Wine Show. Interesting to see this blend, compared to the more common Cab/Merlots. An opaque black to deepest red colour in the glass. Plush scents of blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry, with charry incense notes and a lift of lavender and wisteria florals. The Cabernet sets the tone, with a structure and spine, with the plush Malbec adding gloss and playfulness through the middle. Silky texture, smoky oak and brisk acidity sit atop some big tannins and juicy/jammy fruit flavours. Not too subtle, but these wide brushstrokes of flavour will find favour with some fans of this boisterous South Australia style. 90pts
