Beresford Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Cabernet Sauvignon from the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale, which is slightly cooler than most of the rest of the district and a little more suited to the variety, so often provides alluring drinking. Maturation is for fourteen months in a mix of French oak, 10% new, and American oak hogsheads. A dark garnet hue here, the nose is a mix of tobacco leaf notes, black fruits, plums, chocolate, black olives and cloves. The oak contribution here is well handled. A warm and generous style, more open structurally than many Cabernets sourced elsewhere. Juicy acidity, good focus, excellent balance, fine tannins and a lingering finish all contribute to this being a most attractive red and one which will continue to improve over the next decade.
