2022 Howard Park Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon

Emanating entirely from Margaret River, this vintage marks a departure from the traditional blend, instead offering a testament to the region’s unparalleled Cabernet Sauvignon terroir. A captivating array of aromas rise from the glass carried upon a concentrated core of red and black fruit. Lifted notes of crème de violet, cinnamon quill, clove, blackberry, cassis, and mulberry lay atop earthy, crushed gravel, dried rosemary and hints of cedar spice. Smooth, opulent fruit fills the palate gliding along a fine and well-balanced acidity. Perfectly pitched tannins and subtle oak influence are orchestrated with precision, providing sublime structure and power to every corner of the palate. Culminating in a lengthy, impeccably balanced finish, this wine is filled with a delightful fruit density and endless layers of flavour. Although incredibly appealing in its youth, there is plenty more to come with further time in bottle.
