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.
