Mattinson review of Hirsch Hill Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021.

Hirsch Hill Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
AU$52, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Yarra Valley.

When Yarra Valley cabernet is good it’s a thing of beauty and this cabernet from Hirsch Hill is good. It tastes of blackcurrant, black olives, bay leaves and smoked cedar but it’s the velvety glide of it, the medium-bodied elegance and the way it swings so confidently and with such ease through the finish that marks its quality. This wine is excellent now but it will cellar beautifully.
