Joseph River Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Perhaps a bit forward in colour at the edges. Let this open up and you’ll grasp it in the process of shifting to tertiary notes. Redcurrant, rose hip, sundried tomato, savoury hues, mulberry, gentle baking spice, choc dust, savoury notes. Lovely acid drive – just holds the wine up like a thread with fine choc and crushed eucalypt on the mid palate. Hints of leather creeping in, wood smoke and a little dried thyme and herbal notes. Light on its feet and lifted with good length and fruit at core while fruit sweetness and melting tannins still have a beating heart while the acid is firm yet silky.
