2019 HICKINBOTHAM WINERY TRUEMAN CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Deep red colour with aromas and flavours of rich ripe fruit blackberry, black plum and vanilla. This wine is balanced, rich in the mouth and great value for money…

What a delicious mouthful!  This wine is rich and high in alcohol at a generous 14.5% ABV.  On the palate I gets ripe blackberry, black plum and black cherry.  The wine has spent 12 months in new French oak so has lots of vanilla and cedar to support the mouth drying tannins. With all that said, the wine is surprisingly balanced with ripe fruit, high tannins, high alcohol and the bright acidity.  It’s a great drink now wine, although as it ages the tannins should continue to soften and integrate into the wine.  I’ve given this 4 wows and I think if its revisited in a couple of years when the tannins soften it, might even get a 5 wows. If you like a big bold mouthful then this is the wine for you!  Enjoy!
