Flowstone 'Queen of the Earth' Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

95 Points, Erin Larkin, 2023 Halliday Wine Companion

TASTING NOTE

Appearance: deep purple/red, with purple hues.

Aroma: blackcurrant, red berries, mocha, dark chocolate, hints of violet, with underlying cedar notes. Complex and engaging.

Palate: red and blue fruits to start. The flavours build to a beautifully textural mid palate, supported by the spicy oak, and gently fade with finely honed tannins. The length of the palate is a magical combination of the fruit and silky fine tannins. This wine manages to display a beautifully lithe feel, while still retaining the classic Margaret River structure.

DRINK

Now and over the next 20 years.
