Schoolhouse Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Near black in colour, so black it seems blue, the fruit for this fine Coonawarra Cabernet has been sourced from a single vineyard. The aromas weave through spices, tobacco leaves, plums, blackberries and chocolate. The wine is still very much in its infancy and at this early stage, there is a little of that Cabernet doughnut one sometimes encounters in the structure – a hole in the mid-palate – but one feels that time will rectify that. This is certainly a wine which has time ahead of it – at least five to eight years. Finishes with fine tannins and a lingering persistence.
