Vidal Soler Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay

vidal.png

Blackberries and oak spices, dark plums and tobacco, purple flowers and clove, dry river stones and dried herbs. Complex, and not overdone. On the palate - firm, youthful, dry, textured. Flavours of dark berries and plum. Dark wood spices and hay, roasted black fruits and clove. Firm tannins and plenty of acidity keep the palate youthful and fresh contrasted by a core of fruit and juicy mid-palate. Lengthy finish, balanced and well made with a violet note at the very end. Drinking well now and through 2024.
