94 / 100"Blackberry, some mint and tobacco perfume, almost capsicum, fine spicy coffee oak. Medium bodied, mixed berry, fresh acidity, gentle thread of dried herb gives amaro like flavour, fleshy grainy tannin and a pretty good long finish. Certainly it’s Cabernet here, and high quality."

Tasting Notes
Cabernet Sauvignon grows in ideal conditions on the Hickinbotham Vineyard thanks to the combined influence of elevation, aspect, prevailing winds, weather and ancient soils. The ability to consistently retain expressive and fragrant aromas and obtain deep tannin ripeness with concentrated fresh flavors makes Trueman one of the estate’s most highly regarded wines. Violet, blueberry, purple olive and cedar aromas lead to rich blueberry, blackberry and plum flavors. Tannins are long and layered, delivering exceptional depth of flavour and a long, seamless impression that ages very well.
