2021 Forest Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Sourced from older plantings on the Forest Hill estate, this excellent Cabernet includes a portion of Malbec with maturation taking place in French oak (20% new) for a period of 12 months.
Midnight black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Rising from the glass with plenty of intensity are red to black currant aromas infused with bay leaf followed by some mulberry, dusty earth, tobacco, black olive and subtle spicy vanillin cedar notes. Lashings of rich blackcurrant fruit are layered across the mid weighted palate with liquorice, mulberry, vanillin cedar, earthy tobacco, black olive and spicy bay leaf characters lending further complexity through the back half. Sturdy yet polished tannin structure finishing long and deeply fruited yet refined. Trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon of Region – Halliday Cabernet Sauvignon Challenge.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
