Allegiance Wines The Artisan Cabernet Sauvignon 2024
$50, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Coonawarra.

This is a serious red wine. It’s sizeable, it’s rigidly firm, it’s dry at every turn and it’s arguably been made to be cellared. Blackcurrant, gravel, dark chocolate, Italian herbs and mint notes do all the talking, though all is spoken in a dry, gravelly, mouth-puckering voice. This wine needs either heart food or a good deal of time; the tannin in this wine will see it through for the long haul. 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.
