3 Rings Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

The subsequent vintage, another fine one even if not with the same stellar pedigree as 2022. That said, the wine more than makes up for it. Again, time in a combination of new and seasoned American oak. A purple maroon hue, the wine is very much in the savoury style with notes of cassis, black olives, tobacco leaves, axle grease (in the most positive sense), warm earth, chocolate, miso and beef stock. A flick of acidity supports the wine and runs the length. And decent length it is. There are fine tannins and good balance here, and this is a wine with a future. Enjoy it over the next eight years.
