Full bodied on the pallet with just a hint of tannin

This is soft

the palate is fresh and elegant

and 10% each of Syrah and Cinsault that saw a splash of stems and is still resting all in foudre

2020 | Howard Park Abercrombie Cabernet | Western Australia Tulbagh Full bodied on the palletA subtle change for Abercrombie in 2020, this vintage is exclusively sourced from Margaret River without any fruit from Mount Barker. It is quite a different expression, with powerful graphite, and gravel aromas enriched by thick layers of blackberry with a touch of cocoa. New French oak is never far away, topped by a layer of dried herbs. Quite classic in style, with meaty chewy tannins over blackberry flavors with a faint whisper of peppermint.
