Heartland Spice Trader Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

One of three single varietal Cabernet iterations in the Heartland portfolio, this tells us a fair bit about the grape as it gathers ripeness on the vine, a sense of plum compote and with it a sprinkle of varietally familiar kitchen herb – think thyme and sage. It’s all about good flavour and satisfying textural feels which deliver a decent amount of value into this sub-$20 wine. Bravo for that.
