Springs Road Kangaroo Island Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 ($35) – The team purchased vineyards on Kangaroo Island in 2016. They had been planted with Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay between 1994 and 2000. As with the Shiraz, the wine spends a year maturing in French oak, around 30% new.
An opaque maroon, this is dense and powerful with notes of cassis, tobacco leaves, mulberries, blackcurrants, aniseed, soy and cloves. A wine of medium weight, good balance, decent length and fine tannins, there is a firm finish with hints of herbs and a touch of eucalyptus. Good persistence with the power still in evidence, this is a wine which still has considerable potential. Enjoy over the next twelve years. Buy it to support the Island’s recovery or buy it because it is terrific drinking. 92.
