Pertaringa Lakeside Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

The range of wines from the 2019 harvest put out by Bec Hardy and her team show that this is a very much underrated vintage. This Cab is crimson red, and does hail from the more herbal end of the Cabernet spectrum – not everybody’s cup of tea, but for those who enjoy this style, they’ll find this to be absolutely cracking value. Tobacco leaf, cherries, dry herbs, red fruits, this is a softer style of Cabernet with some early development evident. Decent length, gentle acidity and lingers nicely, it certainly has a good half dozen or more years ahead of it.
