Wild Duck Creek Alan's Cabernet 2017

"'Bordeaux blend' here. The alcohol for cabernet , be it real or guessed, as is the Wild Duck Creek way, is decidedly lower than most of the shiraz wines and other reds. "Cabernet behaves like a naughty, grubby boy in our vineyards", says vigneron Dave Anderson, "but does well, shows personality, takes it all".

Slick, blueberry fruits, young ferment characters, green herb and choc-mint, fragrant as and replicates well to the palate, seamless, slick and well-balanced. There's a sense of depth but freshness here, some detail despite the bold capture of fruit character and booze. It's an intriguing and unique expression. Full blown red."
