Paynes Crossing Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

While Shiraz is the Hunter Valley’s hero red variety, this wine from Paynes Crossing shows that Cabernet finds beautiful expression in the region’s terroir.
 
Latent black fruits with hints of leaf, violet and cedar feature on the nose of this bright red black coloured Cabernet. The palate features bright, juicy black jube-like fruits with raspberry and briarberry persistence and it finishes with fresh astringency and length.
