SANDHURST RIDGE, CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2012 - BENDIGO I absolutely love the fact that the Sandhurst Ridge winemaking team keeps stock of some older vintages. Here, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is really coming into its own. Delightful nose of blackberry, blackcurrant and plum makes your mouth water for that first mouthful. It is decadently rich, with further dark berry characteristics, complemented with some dark chocolate and menthol flavours. The tannins have softened over time, yet remain fine and prominent, providing excellent length. The long, rich finish is a delight to savour and is the perfect pairing to some slow-cooked lamb shanks or, for something a little bit different, try with some quality aged cheddar. If you can’t make it out to the tasting room or prefer delivery, the Sandhurst Ridge website has a fantastic selection of both current-release wines and some excellent back vintages available for purchase.
