| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CUDDY BY TAWSE |
| Fairly deep purple colour with a slightly peppery somewhat savoury, spicy, plum-apple nose with some gentle cedary notes. Very dry, medium bodied, somewhat herbal, intense, firm, youthful, plum-red-apple flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, leanish, somewhat cedary finish. Aged for 16 months in French oak, the youthful Cabernet Franc notes dominate. Best with a grilled steak - needs time - perhaps anoth two years - to develop. It has 13% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. |

| TASTING NOTE: This ripe, balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc is the result of a partnership between the iconic Jim Cuddy and the superb Tawse Winery. It shows off the excellence of the 2020 vintage, with rich blackcurrant, oak spice, tobacco and earth. This will cellar through 2026+. |
