Howard Park 'Scotsdale' Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 6 Pack

Ray Jordan - Winepilot

The cooler Great Southern has certainly helped this excellent Cabernet from what was a hot year. It shows some quite pretty floral lifts on the nose, with a slightly spicy nuance. The palate tends more into the medium-bodied zone, with impeccable balance of fine chalky tannins, some neatly applied oak, and high-quality fruit. It’s a flavoursome, rich, finely balanced wine of impeccable poise with a very long, focused finish.

From the Abercrombie Vineyard in the Mount Barker sub-region, part of the Great Southern region, the fruit came from selected blocks. The vineyard was originally planted in 1976 to the Houghton clone. Near opaque maroon with a purple rim, this is quite a firm style, with serious power. Aromas include chocolate, cigar boxes, graphite, black fruits, dried herbs and there is a fine, minerally backing throughout. Good freshness here, a wine of medium length, which should drink well for at least the next ten to twelve years.
