A lovely claret-style Cabernet. Strawberry purée, red plum centres and crushed gravel. For those readers following along, Claret in this context means a fruit-forward, elegant and finely structured style of Cabernet, and it’s making a comeback. In the mouth, the tannins are chewy and the fruit bright. Though there is plenty of structure, it all feels effortless. Well done, Lenton Brae. You’ve made a Cabernet under $50 that almost any style of drinker will enjoy.
