Two Hands Sexy Beast McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (Australia)

Description

• French oak 
• Blackcurrant 
• Smoked hickory
• Integrated tannins 

This Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deep purple colour with a strong hue in the glass. The bouquet explodes with black currant, smoked hickory, glazed currents, aniseed, tar with a touch of cloved and cut mint. The palate starts out with drive and a thick sway of primary and robust fruits, it is all laid out with a beautiful clean exposure of strong fruits across the mouth. The tannins are well integrated and offer a nice dry twist to the late palate. This is definitely in the 'slurp-able' category, it really does just slide down so easily. This wine will age but offers a great deal of pleasure upon realease. 

The many parcels making up this wine were crushed into and fermented in open top vessels, with regular pump overs (three daily over peak fermentation) to extract colour, flavour and tannins. Average time 'on skins' was 14 days. The batches were then drained and pressed to tank and racked to barrel for oak maturation. 

10% new Taransaud French oak hogsheads. Remainder in one to seven year old French oak hogsheads. 

This wine has a cellar potential up to 10 years, under optimal cellaring conditions. 

Food Pairing: Enjoy with exotic dishes lightly spiced or rich chocolate based desserts.
