Bec Hardy Garden Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

A warmer climate style of Cabernet, chock full of flavour and representing cracking value, the fruit for this wine hails from two of the region’s vineyards. Fermentation was in stainless steel before maturation in a mix of new French oak hogsheads (10%) and older French oak (90%). A purple magenta hue, the nose gives up notes of dried herbs, bay leaves, black cherries, blackberries, mulberries, licorice and leather. Seamless in style, there is good focus and length here, along with bright acidity and a lingering finish. This is delicious drinking and will continue to be over the next decade.
