Part of the greater Hill Smith Family Vineyards stable. Arguably one of the more consistent mod Oz style Cabernet Sauvignon releases. Fruit from the renowned Wilyabrup sub region. Winemaker is Heather Fraser, with her signature on the back proudly displayed.

Ringbolt, Cabernet Sauvignon, Magaret River, 2021

Opaque garnet with a bright rim. Violets and cassis, dripping with fleshy cherries and juice, light mint,  milk chocolate, a rich tomato leaf/sugo, with easy cigar ash and a relaxed sea side freshness. Just medium bodied. Tight and focused. Precise dark fruit with a fine set of tannins and cool finish. Not quite hitting the highs of previous releases, but still tasty and well constructed.

RRP: $30
Alc: 13.5%
