"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with a touch of Cabernet Franc, comes from a parcel opposite the Steepside vineyard, with these vines planted in 2006. This has a finely detailed bouquet with blackberry, briar and a dash of white pepper. There is almost something Rhœne-like about this cuvše! The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, revealing plenty of dark red berry fruit intermixed with white pepper, garrigue and graphite. Possessing fine length, this is a deftly made Cabernet doing a delicious impression of a Syrah!"
