Sorrenberg 2024 Beechworth Cabernet Sauvignon - Cabernet Franc - Merlot

"The nose … I just can’t get over the nose! The wine opens with fresh raspberries, preserved cherries, and chinotto orange framed by warm terracotta and an honeyed oak sweetness. Incredibly charming. This is a wine of olfactory harmony; of perfect ripeness. There is a medicinal quality without the slightest suggestion of green hardness. There is an immediate generosity here too, but the wine does not feel overripe nor overly fruity. The palate follows with an immediate energy, an acidity which expands rapidly across the whole mouth before quickly retreating, giving way to a long, salty-sweet plum mid-palate before finishing with a gentle but persistent grapefruit bitterness. The texture is fine and silken with a mouthwatering chalky grip along the sides of the palate towards the close." — Nick
