TASTING NOTES :
88-Pt Mitchelton's The Bend Victoria Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a wine that embodies the spirit of its namesake, a place where the natural flow of life is celebrated. Located on a picturesque curve of the land, The Bend is an idyllic spot where people come together to enjoy good food, drink, and company, where the pace of life is relaxed and the day unfolds at its own pace.
On the palate, this wine is a masterclass in balance and complexity. Ripe blackberry and cassis fruit mingle with bay leaf notes, subtly enhanced by oak and lifted spice characters. The palate unfolds in layers of intense blackberry and plum fruits, with savoury characters and fine oak influence. The wine's framework is provided by fine, varietal, and persistent tannins, giving it a generosity on the palate and a length of flavour that will linger long after the glass is empty.
