This 2014 vintage of d’Arenberg’s The Cenosilicaphobic Cat Sagrantino Cinsault is a true standout from McLaren Vale. The nose is immediately struck by aromas of ripe dark berries, black cherries, and a delicate hint of spice. On the palate, the wine reveals a rich and full-bodied texture, with bold flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and a subtle touch of tobacco. The tannins are well integrated, providing a smooth and velvety mouthfeel. The colour is a deep ruby red, with a slight purple hue around the edges. As the wine lingers on the palate, notes of dark chocolate and black pepper emerge, adding complexity and depth to the overall experience. This is a wine that will continue to evolve and improve with time, making it a true gem from d’Arenberg, a producer based in the renowned wine region of South Australia.
Critic Reviews
Campbell Mattinson - Halliday's Wine Companion
Muted on the nose and overhwelmingly grippy on the palate. It might appeal to tannin fanciers, but there's little to hang onto here.
