Hickinbotham Cabernet Sauvignon Trueman Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard McLaren Vale 2020

Detailed and of somewhere (in this case, the cool hills of Clarendon in McLaren Vale), this beauty opens with heady aromas of raspberry coulis, beef jerky, Chinese five spice, mint chocolate and dried florals. It’s a powerful wine but a shapely one, slinking around the tongue, the spiced red berry flavors fresh, silky and persistent, even within a frame of muscular, sinewy tannins. Drink now-2040.
