Discovered in 17th Century France, the blend rapidly became popular among winemakers due to its ability to grow in a variety of very diverse geographical conditions. With juicy black fruits, vanilla undertones, and smooth palate, Cabernet Sauvignon is an easy wine to enjoy. Its complex flavour profile and full-bodied nature make it a wonderful accompaniment to heavily-flavoured meat dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-26T07:39:59-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Cabernet Sauvignon"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":421823906025,"handle":"case-of-wines","title":"Case of Wines","updated_at":"2024-10-12T14:20:22-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2023-10-17T22:18:17-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"6Pack"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"12Pack"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":400557801705,"handle":"mount-horrocks-wines","title":"Mount Horrocks Wines","updated_at":"2024-10-12T05:15:03-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2022-02-24T17:55:57-05:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Mount Horrocks"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":283622244502,"handle":"red-wine","title":"Red Wine","updated_at":"2024-10-12T14:22:03-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-11-02T00:33:51-04:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Cabernet Franc"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Cabernet Merlot"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Durif"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Grenache"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Grenache Shiraz"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Malbec"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Merlot"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Nebbiolo"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Pinot Noir"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Shiraz"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Shiraz Pinot Noir"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"barbera"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"cabernet"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"gamay"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"mataro"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"mencia"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"montepulciano"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"nerello"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"sagrantino"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"shiraz blend"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"syrah"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"tempranillo"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"cabernet sauvignon"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"sangiovese"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"dolcetto"}],"published_scope":"global"}]
Mount Horrocks Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 12pack 14% 750ml
Grapes are handpicked to ensure the fruit’s pristine condition on arrival at the winery. After cold soaking, the ferment is gently plunged 3-4 times a day. The wine then spends 18 months maturation exclusively in French barriques, 35% of which are new.
TASTING NOTES
Lovely depth and brilliance in the glass. Clearly Cabernet, red and black currant fruits, spiced cherry and dark chocolate/cocoa. There’s a lovely touch of savoury briar character, seamlessly integrated oak (18 months in 35% new, French barriques) and long, supple, fine tannins. Tremendous structure and length. Cellar 15 years plus.
REVIEWS
Huon Hooke – The Real Review
95 Points
Deep-ish red with a good bright tint of purple and the bouquet is all about mulberry, cassis, blackberry—sweetly ripe fruit without any greener touches. It’s also deliciously sweet and fruit-ripe on the tongue, with charming fruit flavours of berries and a hint of cola or sarsaparilla, the tannins supplying excellent structure and adding to the very long aftertaste. An outstanding cabernet. Long cellaring potential but it’s also delicious to drink young.
