The flagship wine by Angus The Bull, this is a celebration of Heathcote Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackberries and licorice greet you on the nose, lifted by fresh blueberries, violets, and a hint of spearmint. Beautifully managed new French oak (21%) adds a rich, heady, nutmeg and cedar spice. Flavour intensity and power command the palate. It’s bold but balanced, with well integrated 14.7% alcohol. The tannins are gorgeous – ripe, round and just-slightly chewy in the best possible way; conjuring images of the dry aged steak that the pairing demands. Even after a short time in the glass it opens and evolves, despite its youth. A perfect winter red, that promises to reward those patient enough to cellar too.
Nicole loves wine. So much so that she gave up a successful career in Pharmacy, perfected her spitting technique, and moved from sunny Queensland to the wine-drenched laneways of Melbourne. Stints in hospitality, wineries, retail, sales and marketing filled the next few years while Nicole built her knowledge and searched for the right path. She completed the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Diploma in 2016 and became a certified WSET Educator the following year. She now juggles a number of roles including teaching people about wine, curating wines lists for restaurants and bars, judging in Australian wine shows and, of course, writing. In 2016 she won the Negociants Working With Wine writing award and has since contributed to Gourmet Traveller WINE, Halliday Wine Companion Magazine and Nourish Magazine.
