There is good fruit purity to be found in the 2022 Sexy Beast. It radiates with bright cassis, new leather and dark cherry aromas with a perfectly pitched herbal lift. The excellent density of flavor follows. The cooler vintage provides an attractive tannin backbone that underpins a lingering finish. Lots to like in this smart wine over the medium term.

The 2022 Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon is inky and concentrated, dense and dark. The fruit is silky and smooth, not particularly leafy or detailed but good in a voluptuous kind of way. The finish closes with a little of arnica, aniseed and black pepper. It's warm and a little meaty, but it will please those deeply who pursue this kind of vibe in Cabernet. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
