Artist 2022 Cabernet
- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 93 points – “The inviting bouquet shows blackcurrant, rich floral, clove and roasted nut aromas, followed by a succulent palate displaying good weight and plump mouthfeel. Harmonious and well-structured, finishing lingering and finely dry.”
Wine Showcase, 94 points
This full flavoured Cabernet is blended from our Estate fruit married to fruit from local growers. Classic blackberry and cedar aromas lead to a soft fruity palate with just velvety smooth dusty tannins. A special collaboration with a Melbourne based graphic artist has resulted in a beautiful label that captures the rich history of the gold rush that brought prosperity to Avoca in the late 1800s with a sense of style that combines the traditions of days gone by with a plushness that reflects the delightfully smooth and rich Cabernet within.
COLOUR
Dense plum red of good intensity, and colour cling on the swirl.
NOSE
Clean developing aromas of blackcurrant, dark chocolate with a light background of toast and sweet menthol.
PALATE
Clean full-bodied flavours of ripe forest berries and blackcurrants, supported by a moderate integral frame of small velvet tannins finishing with a soft cherry vapour.
FOOD PAIRING
Beef Cannelloni, roasted lamb chops and vegetables, mushroom risotto, aged cheddar and blue cheeses.
VINTAGE NOTES
A wet Winter recharged the soil and good Spring weather encouraged healthy growth across all varieties. A mild start to the season progressed to be a cooler than normal growing season with well-placed summer rains (before veraison). Some rain through vintage.
