2023 Forest Hill Vineyard Highbury Fields Cabernet Sauvignon

Rich blackcurrant fruit with earthy undertones and a tense mid length finish.

Includes a Malbec component. Dense midnight black core with a deep dark red hue. Black currant and mulberry scents infused with black olive intermix with hints of cigar box, earth and bay leaf. Rich blackcurrant fruits carry earthy undertones with some red liquorice, cedary tobacco characters, black olive and bay leaf also apparent. Tightly knit, fine grained tannins and bright acidity with a tense mid length finish.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews…..
A fresh, easy-drinking red of forest berry fruitiness, minty herbal elements, white pepper, some clove and cinnamon spice. Juiciness upfront and whips away to a fine but quickly dusty finish. Some black olive, gingery spice and salted licorice, too. This feels pretty smart for the bucks, a sense of restraint and elegance on hand. Good for it. Drink by 2032.
