Mount Horrocks Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Fragrant violet aromas unite with mulberry and blackcurrant fruit of impressive depth and persistence, yet at every moment vibrant, lively and medium-bodied. It’s scaffolded by confident, finely structured, chewy tannins, bright acidity and well-gauged dark chocolate oak. Beautifully balanced and enduring, this is one of the greats from Mount Horrocks. $36 at Mates Crates (2012).
