Joshua Cooper Wines - Shay's Flat Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - 2022

Deep, dark garnet. Reticent on opening, aeration shows intense sour cherry and cassis, mulberry, lavender and black olive with a sweet mint top note and alluring graphite and terracotta complexity. A compact and powerful palate opens with time to reveal layers of deep dark berry and red cherry fruit, before a rumble of fine layered tannin and cleansing cherry pit acidity with a persistent trail of graphite, dark cocoa and Dutch liquorice. The clarity and length of flavour and added depth and quality of tannin mark this as a very special wine, the best yet from this site. Winemaker's Notes
