Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

This wine, from a McLaren Vale vineyard, spent 13 months in a mix of older French (80%) and American (20%) oak hogsheads. A garnet red, the nose offers notes of smoked meats, warm earth, bay leaves, redcurrants, and cigar box characters. This is made in an earthy, even slightly rustic, style, with a mix of red and black fruits. A soft and generous palate with ripe flavours, this is a wine of medium length which will provide pleasure for the next three to four years.
