Deep in colour with the aromas and flavours of blackcurrant, wood sage and leafy herbs, finishing with fine French Oak tannins.

The Smidge St Brioc Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 from McLaren Vale is a true gem from Smidge Wines, located in South Australia. With a rich deep ruby color, this wine immediately captivates the senses. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of smoky oak tantalize the senses. The palate is equally impressive, with a velvety texture and flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and a touch of chocolate. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant structure. This wine boasts a long and satisfying finish, leaving a lingering taste of black fruit and a subtle hint of spice. A true representation of the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of Smidge Wines, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a must-try for any wine lover. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to truly experience its full potential.

"Matured in 5050% French and American oak for 20 months. It's odd how the co-fermentation of viognier can appear to intensify the regional signature, it's certainly written large here, but there's a spark of fresh fruit with a different pitch to its note. All this adds up to an impressive example of this key wine in the d'Arenberg menagerie." 95 points, James Halliday Wine Companion, October 2016.

Tasting Notes Aroma Lifted varietal aromas of red currant, summer berries and cranberry combine with bright violet perfume and subtle spice. Palate The palate is medium to full bodied with bright fruits, red plum, blackcurrant and cherry balanced with oak spice and a hint of dried herbs. Lengthy tannins and a fine acid line give structure and length to the palate yielding a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth but will also develop beautifully with time.
