Normans Holbrooks Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2024
Deep crimson with a purple core. Blackcurrant and blackberry open the nose, with dark plum and a bright red-berry lift, plus subtle cedar and light savoury spices. Medium to full-bodied and generous. Concentrated dark fruit sits against fresh acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins that give it proper shape. Oak is restrained, and a quiet capsicum note adds classic Cabernet character without dominating. It finishes clean and persistent with cassis holding centre stage.
Straightforward Cabernet done well: fruit-forward, balanced and easy to enjoy.
Vino Masters Score: 93/100 ★★★★★ Classic structure, dark berry fruit and a satisfying finish.
