Koonowla Reverence Clare Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

It is always an intriguing argument. Does the Clare Valley do better Cabernet or Shiraz? Needless to say, opinions vary considerably on this. Personally, both varieties provide some cracking wines and I am happy to keep researching. This is certainly a tick for those waving the Cab flag. Deep maroon, this has a delightfully lifted nose. It is ripe with hints of chocolate, blackberries, cloves, coffee beans, cigar boxes and florals showing both focus and balance plus some early complexity. Fine tannins with noticeable grip, and very good length. This should easily sail through the next eight to ten years.
