Fleshy and expansive in the mouth, offering primary black and blue fruit and bitter chocolate flavors and subtle licorice and cola notes that build in the glass. Becomes more lively with air and finishes long, spicy and precise, with fine-grained tannins lending gentle grip.

See detailed press reviewThe 2019 Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon is juicy and bright, with an uncomplicated array of red and purple fruits in the mouth. 2019 was a very warm (hot), dry vintage that suffered also from low yields. As a result, the wines en masse have a compacted, brooding nature, which this wine exudes. This is very good value for money and eloquently expresses of the Barossa terroir.
