2023 Wendouree Cabernet Sauvignon
Other Reviews….
I’ll get to the Shiraz based wines from Wendouree tomorrow, and I’m thinking that the 2023 vintage may suit those wines better.
Blackcurrant, tobacco, menthol and cedar, toasty nutty oak. It’s medium-bodied, good intensity of small dark berry fruit, though it feels kind of sheath-like, as in you are getting the outside of a wine and there’s not quite enough stuffing inside. Tobacco, blackberry and blackcurrant, a bit sharp and tangy, with an iodine-laced finish of good length. It offers a certain cool blue fruited structural and rain-washed mineral charm, and I reckon it will age very well, though it’s something of a sideshow compared to the usual Wendouree Cabernet. Drink 2027 - 2043+.
