Pertaringa 2017 Understudy

Cabernet Sauvignon (McLaren Vale)

This is a bold yet well-balanced offering, from its midnight black color to its full body and deep flavor. The nose is mightily mineral-driven while the palate packs in the black fruit flavors of currant and plum skin. The fruit is so powerful and all-encompassing that it’s easy to miss the hefty structure until the finish, where it cleans up impeccably thanks to spry acidity and sinewy tannins. Drink now–2024.
