2015 The MV Cabernet Sauvignon (2015)
A brooding savoury side, plush dark fruits transports this to a deliciously ethereal level.
Title: Halliday Wine Companion
Description: 16-30yo vines of various clones blended after fermentation, open-fermented with cultured yeast, 9-12 days on skins, matured in French hogsheads (20% new) for 21 months. A good example of the varietal character that McLaren Vale can generate, not the lest reliant on lots of expensive oak or elevated alcohol. This is old money, with blackcurrant striding out confidently in the lead, bay leaf and dried herbs scurrying after it. Will develop along the path it has already set.
Award Date Description: -
Rating: 95 / 100
It's full-bodied, full in the middle palate style with red cherry and blackberry fruits and high-quality oak and grape tannins that run long with the fruit. Fruit-filled, focused, and generous in style. 95 pts - Wine Companion - James Halliday 93 pts - Key Review of Wine - Tony Keys
