Watkins Cellar Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Langhorne Creek 2018

From my favourite underrated red region, Langhorne Creek, meaning we can expect flavour and value. This wine delivers both. From a great vintage, it is always a bonus to be able to enjoy wines with some age and maturity, especially at such a giveaway price. Deep garnet hue, the nose offers an indication that this will be a warm, earthy style. Not rustic, but perhaps not as shiny, chic and ultra-modern as some, which many will prefer, this is full of flavour, richness and oomph (which is a new technical term). Black fruits, mushrooms and bay leaves are to the fore. Good length and there is evidence of a little complexity, the wine has fine acidity and supple tannins and should drink well for at least the next decade.
