Chapel Hill The Chosen Gorge Block McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon

Upholding varietal definition and structural endurance in full-flavoured, full-bodied cabernet takes skill and talent, and Michael Fragos has exemplified both in 2013. This is a dense, powerful and polished McLaren Vale cabernet that’s brimming with blackcurrants, cassis and dark chocolate. For all of its exuberance, it pulls confidently into a focused and well-defined finish of firm, fine tannin structure and excellent persistence. $56 at Dan Murphy’s (2011). Best price direct (2013).
