Ticks all the boxes for a solid, approachable Cabernet with good drinking on its mind. Cabernet from the Krondorf sub-region has a really open, generous, black berried character that is woven through black cherry fruit, briar, twig, bay leaf, vanillin and woodsy spice. The latter remains an impressive feature of the wine. Supple, plush tannins encourage early drinking enjoyment, but the opportunity is there for some medium-term ageing. Resolutely Barossan in style and coming in at a fair price.
