ST HUGO CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2020

Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Floral lift on the nose, perfumed blueberries and hints of cocoa with overtones of violets and cooling dried herbs. Elegant and structural palate at its core with fine chalky tannins complimented by an even floral fruit spectrum, enhanced with subtle toasted oak."

95/100 James Halliday's Wine Companion (2020 Vintage)
"This is a very good St Hugo. There’s a decent amount of oak but it feels in check – the fruit has so much juiciness and run that the oak helps to keep it bedded. It’s a mulberried, curranty, minty release with eucalypt top notes, apple-like acidity, and excellent spread to the tannin. The chalkiness of the finish, inlaid with juicy fruit, is the key to the wine’s quality. It’s not a massive release in terms of intensity, but it’s above medium weight and it’s lengthy."

94/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, December 2024 (2020 Vintage)
"Mulberries and mint, blackcurrant and peppercorns, chocolate, bay leaves and eucalypt. This is leafy, lengthy, juicy expression of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, its variety written clearly on its sleeve, its cellarworthiness pretty much assured. This is a beautifully formed cabernet."
