Monterra Reserve BDX 2022

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot from a very fine vintage for the McLaren Vale region, the wine spent time in French oak. This is a burly, even slightly rustic style, which does divide the crowds, but plenty love them for their richness, power and full throttle flavour. Earth and leather notes, spices, blackcurrants, licorice and animal skins. The power is especially obvious on the palate. A wine with good intensity, direction, force and very good length. Will reward cellaring for the next ten to fifteen years.
