2021 Forest Hill Highbury Fields Cabernet Sauvignon, Mount Barker

Fruit is sourced from Forest Hill vineyard and vines in Frankland River. There is a portion of malbec in this wine. Plush and smooth, medium weight and chocolatey. A dense and dark perfume of plum and dark chocolate, faint mint and sea spray with black olive notes in the mix. The palate is molten dark chocolate with raspberry, black olive and bay leaf characters. The wine feels compact and the tannins are lithe and puckering/refreshing. Feels pretty smart and does a good job of being reserved.

Ruby purple in colour. Aromas of sweet red and black berries, cracked swigs, bay leaf and black olives. Berry fruit and olive carries to the palate with fruit power, the tannins are elegant and refined. Long and lingering.
