2021 Brash Higgins 'CBSV' Cabernet Sauvignon

Place: McLaren Vale, SA Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Farming: Organic Brad ‘Brash’ Hickey brings a thoughtful, site-driven lens to McLaren Vale, balancing classic varieties with newer plantings suited to the region’s evolving climate. His wines are expressive without excess, capturing both the character of the region and the individuality of each variety. This Cabernet Sauvignon is deeply perfumed, opening with cassis, blueberry, Earl Grey tea and sweet mint, layered with caraway, florals and a touch of Dutch liquorice. Rich and composed, the palate weaves dark berries with roasted root vegetables and bright rhubarb, finishing long with fine, classic Cabernet tannins that bring freshness, structure and poise.
