Bec Hardy Family Crest Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

A static stainless fermenter was used here, with the grapes spending nine days on skins, for those who enjoy the technical side of things. Eight months in older French oak hogsheads. Dark maroon hue, the nose offers aromas of tobacco leaves, blackberries, soy, licorice, bergamot, chocolate and coffee grinds. Focused, with bright acidity running the full length of the journey, there are satiny tannins and the wine offers good length. This is still very much in the youthful camp and certainly promises more for the future. Very attractive and should remain so for the next ten to twelve years.
