Hither & Yon Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$29, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

The fruit flavours here are so perfectly ripe; not too ripe and not too under. These flavours are complemented ably by bay leaf, tobacco, violet and cedar characters. This wine is varietal, medium in weight, well formed and well balanced, and all these things combined with the charm of the fruit makes for excellent drinking. The value speaks for itself. This is an absolute Buy. 93 points.
