Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Early days for this very fine Marg River Cab and there is improvement ahead, but for those lacking the patience, you will still find a thoroughly enjoyable red for your pleasure. This is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon which spent thirteen months in French oak, with 28% of that new. Dark maroon in colour, we have notes of cassis, coffee grinds, blackberries, dried herbs, animal flesh, florals and beefstock. This lifts further on the palate with a refined structure, good intensity throughout and fine if ever-so-slightly gritty tannins. Enjoy over the next six to ten years.
