There is good structure here without the wine becoming heavy, with measured tannins and a fresh, composed finish. The fruit comes from Knappstein's estate vineyards in the northern Clare Valley, an area well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2022 has picked up serious recognition along the way. A smart choice for roast lamb, grilled steak or a slow-cooked beef dish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 growing season began with a wet spring, followed by favourable flowering and fruit set and cool conditions through December and January that allowed long, steady ripening. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Knappstein's estate vineyards at the northern end of the Clare Valley, where the vines average more than 35 years of age. The winery describes aromas of juicy blackcurrant, dark chocolate, mint and tobacco leaf, with chocolate, bay leaf, ripe blackberry and fresh thyme across an elegantly structured palate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeni Port, The Vintage Journal South Australian Wine Guide, 95 Points (2022)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A Cabernet still in its prime with that vegetal accent and pronounced black fruit characters.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTony Love, WinePilot, 94 Points (2022)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Quite a serious wine with “now” drinkability as well as promising cellaring potential.
