Shottesbrooke Clements Brook Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, McLaren Vale
Deep crimson with a dark garnet core. Blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum come through clearly, with cedar, dried herbs, graphite and a touch of dark chocolate.
Full-bodied. Concentrated cassis and blackberry are backed by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Dark plum fills out the mid-palate, while cedar and savoury spice add another layer. The tannins give real backbone, keeping the fruit clear and expressive. The finish is long, with blackcurrant, graphite and oak spice lingering.
A serious, food-friendly Cabernet with plenty of character and structure. Take it with you to the Currant Shed in McLaren Vale for the real experience! (or they may have it on by the glass).
Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★
