Killiecrankie Bendigo Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Share

I will always have a soft spot for Bendigo Cabernet, as it’s usually rich without being overpowering. The 2022 Killiecrankie combines concentrated characters of blackberry, raspberry, cigar box, dark choc and dried red and black fruits with suppleness, the alcohol and acid showing nice balance. It will likely improve with some more age as the tannins are still quite grippy and there’s heaps of primary fruit on the palate to keep you interested.
