Reschke Armenta Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

95 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

A gorgeous rendition of the variety, showing blackcurrant, cedary oak, dried herb and toasted spice aromas, followed by a finely expressed palate that's succulent and supple. Wonderfully framed by layers of chalky tannins, finishing harmonious and persistent.

Ken Gargett - Winepilot

Ten days on skins here, with time in small French oak barrels, this was harvested from the Henry Albert vineyard in Coonawarra. The colour is an opaque maroon and there is lots to love with the swirling perfumes from the aromas. Chocolate, blackberries and cassis, cigar boxes, mint and licorice make for an attractive lifted nose. The palate is equally compelling – seamless, focused and offering very good length. Sleek tannins and good balance to be found here. This will provide pleasure for a good ten years and more. Expect the score to rise over that period.

Shanteh Wale - Halliday Wine Companion

Blackberries and their thorns, sage leaf and dark cherry skin. Soft licorice, kirsch and espresso. A Fisherman's Friend of spice and menthol. The palate opens with blackberries and turns to a coolness from spearmint and rosemary. Tannins are quite powdery and fine, with galloping acidity that builds. This is full of wild herbs and bramble. Drinking well now and would befit a melt-in-your-mouth tenderloin or wagyu steak.
