Sipping this Ambervale Cabernet Sauvignon now recalls memories of other Ambervale wines tasted last year. They were distinct for their mineral grayness, marked by notes of graphite, rocks, earth, metal filings, and blackberries. This wine mirrors those characteristics, although it's shaped in a Cabernet style. While cassis and bramble notes are present, the wine predominantly relies on its gritty tannin structure, a feature that is quite appealing. Gladly drink this.
