Allegiance Wines Unity Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

The fruit for this fine Coonawarra Cabernet comes from the same source as does their Artisan, but sees a higher percentage of new oak, by way of French oak hogsheads, albeit for a shorter time, usually just over a year. Dark maroon in colour, this is an earthy, savoury style exhibiting slightly robust oak at this early stage. The nose offers notes of dried herbs, charcuterie, black fruits, cigar boxes, dark chocolate, soy and aniseed. A muscular style with good length and firm tannins, enjoy it over the next ten to twelve years. Think of pairing it with your favourite cut of steak.
