Cabernet remains the great strength of the Stella Bella portfolio, a wine of easy elegance and class. Comes at you all approachable and generous while retaining a firm structure while leaving something in the tank for later (like the second day after opening). Delivers an impressive scent in blackberry, black plum and black cherry fruits framed in Aussie bush notes, earth and cedary oak. Runs smoothly, easily across the palate while retaining structure meshing fleshy, dark fruit flavours with attractive herbals, earth, chocolate and baking spices. Tight with a grippy mouthfeel on the finish. Would love a swish or two of air to open up.
