Hesketh Twist of Fate Cabernet 2021

Cabernet from the southern parts of Coonawarra, fermentation was in stainless steel open fermenters for a week, before the wine was moved to a range of older French oak barriques and hogsheads for nine months. Good luck finding another Coonawarra Cabernet of this standard for this price, it really is amazing value. Maroon/purple in colour, this is basically a good, if somewhat simple, full-flavoured red for drinking over the rest of this decade. There are notes of blackberries, plums, chocolate, licorice and cherries. Supple in texture, it is not as formally structured as many Cabernets, but exactly what you’d expect in this range. Good length and fine tannins, you can safely put a few cases away in the cellar and enjoy great value drinking for the rest of the decade.
