Monty’s Leap Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$40, 12.4% alcohol, screwcap, Great Southern.
This is a light, herbal cabernet with loganberry, earth and dried spice notes as its main drivers. It's savoury and leafy more than it is fruity, but with another couple of years under its belt it should drink well – in a lighter, more herbal mould.
