Heartland Cabernet Sauvignon, Australia
Ben Glaetzer’s trademark glossy, but detailed winemaking ensures that this exuberantly fruity wine manages to stay on the right side of self-indulgent. With soaring cassis notes, a lick of menthol, and posher oak than one would imagine for its workmanlike price point, this is a glorious piece of work and a real treat for fans of both Heartland and also this grape. Decant it for even more pleasure and you could easily convince your pals that this is a twenty-pound wine.
