Jim Brand Family Reserve Domain Cabernets 2019

The blend for this excellent Coonawarra wine is Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Fanc and Merlot. It’s the result of a cull of the best fruit and is made in small batches. In fact just 1% of the crush goes into it. It opens with a decent hit of blackcurrant with sightl tobacco leaf and black olive characters. The palate is powerfully structured but seamlessly presented. A fine integration of oak and chalky tannins ensures there is the support for extended cellaring.
