Olssen of Watervale Cabernet Sauvignon 2024, Clare Valley
Deep crimson with a purple heart. Blackcurrant and blackberry open the nose, with dark plum and a cool herbal lift, plus subtle cedar and a touch of spice. Medium to full-bodied and focused. Concentrated cassis sits against fresh acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins that give it proper structure without hardness. There’s a real clarity to it that feels distinctly Clare. Oak is restrained, letting the dark fruit stay front and centre. It finishes with length and a savoury edge, blackcurrant and spices.
Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★ Concentrated dark fruit, elegant structure and genuine Clare Valley character.
