Allegiance Wines The Artisan Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$65, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Coonawarra.

The flow here is good. So too is the spread through the finish, the mark of a good wine. This tastes as much of blackberry as of blackcurrant, though juicy boysenberry and blueberry fruit characters help to wash it all along and keep the flavours moving. Peppercorn, mint and sweet cedar are all welcome flavours here as well; from start to finish this wine feels in good order. Indeed it’s hard to see this wine as anything other than a quality Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. 93 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.
