Piercing notes of blackcurrant, reminiscent of Ribena. Herbaceous riffs of hedgerow, spearmint and greengage provide lift. Lithe, dense sage-crusted tannins find effortless affinity with the oak cladding (70/30% French/American, all used). But it is the extract and generous mouthfeel that prove winning. No wonder, as 20% of the fruit was dried in the appassimento fashion. This is an impressive cabernet: saline, maritime, full bodied and highly regional.

Blackcurrants, minty herbs, bay leaf, and some chocolaty oak all emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Jester, a plump, medium to full-bodied, round, supple, hedonistic beauty that brings loads of pleasure. It's another up-front, delicious wine in the lineup perfect for enjoying over the coming 3-5 years.
