Brokenwood Cricket Pitch Red Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Merlot 2018 (Australia)
- French oak
- Dark berries
- Dark chocolate
- Ripe tannins
Berry/leafy aromas are to the fore, due to the wine being two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon. A beautiful deep colour with youthful tints. Rich, dark chocolate characters from the McLaren Vale component. Ripe tannins and acid line will see this age well over the medium term. A lovely drinking wine as always. A drink now style that will further soften with medium term bottle maturation.
The 28th vintage of Cricket Pitch Red (not counting the 1986) is both multi-varietal and multi-regional. Just on 62% coming from New South Wales with the balance being McLaren Vale and Beechworth. A warm to hot vintage across all regions in 2018 producing mouth filling, juicy reds.
Mostly vinomatic fermenters used, after 2-3 day cold soak prior to ferment. This wine is matured in French oak up to 18 months with a small percentage being in new oak barrels.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with rich seafood, pasta and light meat dishes.
