Sevenhill Inigo Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

The team source the fruit for this Cab from a number of blocks. The usual method for this wine is that the smaller and older parcels of fruit go to open slate fermenters, with twice daily plunging, while the larger blocks have their fruit ferment in stainless steel. After blending, the wine then spends another year in French oak hogsheads, 15% of which are new. Opaque purple, this is immediately more formal in its structure. The aromas and flavours weave through dark chocolate, blackcurrants, tobacco leaf notes and hints of oak that are well integrated. Very good length and with balance, this wine offers a powerful palate. It is quite tannic, with firm, abundant tannins. A quality Clare Cabernet, there is room here for this wine to improve further so while good now it will surely be better in four to six years.
