Stonehaven LVR Coonawarra Cab Sauv 2021

Amazing to think we are still seeing wines from the stellar 2021 vintage and even more surprising to see them offering such great value. Anyone who hasn’t stocked their cellar with this brilliant vintage as yet needs to get a wriggle on. This is a fine Coonawarra Cabernet with great promise. Blood red with a pale garnet rim, we have notes of bay leaves, chocolate, dried herbs, warm soil and aniseed. Still quite youthful, even though it does have a few years under its belt, there is good intensity which is maintained for the full journey. The wine is focused and slightly muscular in style. It finishes with firm tannins and should drink impressively for the next ten to twelve years.
