Allegiance Wines The Artisan Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$40, 14.0% alcohol, screwcap, Coonawarra.

There’s a mass of warm-hearted flavour here and it’s presented in well-balanced form. This is a good, solid, Coonawarra cabernet. It tastes of blackcurrant, bay leaves, assorted roasted spices and cedar, with whispers of tobacco in the mix as well. There’s also a toffeed creaminess to the palate, which makes the wine feel both warm and smooth. Satisfying is the word. 92 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
