2023 Sons Of Eden Pumpa Cabernet Sauvignon, Eden Valley

A fabulous rendition of the variety, showing blackcurrant, thyme, clove and elegant oak aromas, followed by a beautifully weighted palate offering succulent fruit intensity with supple texture and chalky tannins. Rich and mouthfilling, yet with poise and grace, making it gorgeously drinkable

When I lived in the Barossa, Tim Pumpa was my mechanic and he had his work cut out dealing with my crappy Landrover Discovery. I'm sure he'd be related to these Eden Valley vineyard owners. The Barossa is like that. Plenty to like here. Bright blackberry pastille and blackcurrant fruits, laden with spice, sage and earthen tone. Some high-toned floral flecks as well, bright acidity and gentle, powdery tannins to boot. Good vibrant drinking.
