Stonefish Single Vineyard Margaret River Cabernet 2021

Share

The Stonefish range continues to offer delicious drinking and cracking value. Crimson purple in colour, with gentle but well handled oak notes, this is giving us a nose offering choc-cherry characters, aniseed, blackberries, bay leaves and lots of cocoa powder. Finely structured, this is a wine of medium length which is well balanced with silky tannins. Good buying to enjoy over the next six to eight years. So much to like here.

Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
