Forest Hill Vineyard Mount Barker Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Home to the first Great Southern plantings, the talented team at Forest Hill are fastidious about quality. If a vineyard site isn’t up to scratch, the block is removed. If the vintage isn’t good enough, they don’t release a wine, and “the quality of the wines made from the oldest vines (dry-grown) on the property is awesome”. (Halliday) Winemaker Michael Ng has come a long way since crafting his first wine from his garage. “Cool-climate Cabernet of great purity. Blackcurrant, graphite and tobacco all speak of the variety, and the cedary oak fits perfectly into the mix. Medium-bodied and elegant in style, the tannin is fine-grained and unobtrusive....95 points” (Halliday).
