Sister's Run Bethlehem Block Cabernet  Sauvignon 2020/2021 750ml

Barossan cabernet with a firm hand on the tiller. This red wine is a kind of luxury in the world of cabernet’s tendency to dourness. Yet whilst there’s the generosity of fruit flavour there’s not the lack of tannin and requisite acidity; the wine remains - under the hand on the tiller - evenly keeled. Steak Anglais, with English Mustard. Deviled Kidneys? Croque Monsieur. No: a good Steak au Poivre with mash would be best.

TASTING NOTES
Purple and bright; dark ruby; buoyant and alive. Blueberry fruit aromatics - very pert and forward. Cassis, freshly bottled and full of blackberry fruit. A hint of mint - which cabernet must always have. And then after a second glass, that waft of underplayed oak spice is all too easily and properly incorporated into the cabernet’s fruit depth. Cabernet’s innate reserve and tannic gruffness are here matched with the Barossa’s generosity of spirit. 

Alc: 14.5%
