Jim Brand The Pursuit Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

A wine reflecting the much missed Jim Brand’s pursuit of great Cabernet from the Coonawarra region and a very fine tribute.  A gleaming dark crimson/magenta hue, the nose opens with cigar box and black cherry notes, along with aromas of charcuterie, coffee beans, blackberries and tobacco leaves. There is excellent oak integration here, good concentration throughout and a lingering finish. A juicy style with sleek tannins, this will drink impressively for the next ten to twelve years.
