2022 Penny’s Hill Edwards Road Cabernet Sauvignon

Matured for 14 months in French oak barriques of which 23% were new. Dense black as night core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Red to black currant and mulberry aromas permeate through the nostrils followed by some dusty vanillin cedar, black olive, dried herb and spicy tobacco notes. The firmly structured yet elegant palate features red to black currant and mulberry fruits which are intermeshed with dusty vanillin cedar, spicy tobacco, black olive and dried herb elements. Dry, assertive yet integrated tannins. The refined, dusty mid length finish showing some tension.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…..
Vibrant, stylish and shrouded in cassis and blueberry fruit elegance with an immaculate oak core and silky tannins. Supple and smooth with an enduring length.

This is a single site Cabernet from McLaren Vale, planted in 1993. Ten days on skins, after pressing the fermentation was finished in barrel, with around 30% of it new French oak, followed by 14 months maturation. Deep maroon, the wine offers rich chocolatey notes, dry herbs, tobacco leaves, mulberries, smoked meats, plums and soy. Oak is evident, but it is not intrusive. There is a supple texture, firm finish and very good length. Sleek tannins. Lovely example of a warm climate Cabernet which will provide excellent drinking for the next eight to twelve years. Very good buying. Drink 2024-2036.
