2015 Heartland Spice Trader Cabernet Sauvignon
Heartland
The fruit was crushed into 8-tonne open fermenters and left on skins to cold macerate for three days prior to fermentation. The wine underwent its malolactic transformation in oak, was then racked and returned to French and American oak for a 12-month maturation. Blending was completed just prior to bottling. The dark colour comes from the ripe and dense skins of the Cabernet grapes in the warm autumn sun. It bursts with dark fruit flavours and is framed by smooth chocolate and vanilla with hints of fresh mint. A full-bodied red wine which is both rich and easy drinking. - Ben Glaetzer, Heartland

90 points.
Like its Spice Trader Shiraz sibling, 5-6 years have allowed this wine to relax and find an appealing balance in the palate. The nose is pure Cabernet leafiness, and while this echoes softly as you drink, the forest fruits and crimson-berry feels here are the dominant force. It's bright and lifted, with varietal tannins adding structure. Crazily good value.
