Trinity Hill Prison Block Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
"Dense, inky red with cassis, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, cedar and spicy oak flavours. Massive wine that is surprisingly accessible now but will certainly reward anyone who chooses to cellar it. Responds well to aeration" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2022
"This is a fantastic wine from start to finish. A deep core of opaque purple hues and pink rim, colour staining of the tears lead to a bouquet of richness, ripeness, complexity and power. Flavours of blackberries and dark cherry, sweet tobacco and boysenberry. Tannins are ripe, firm and abundant, acidity is also ripe providing contrast to the core fruits mid-palate and with the tannins a solid foundation. The combination of fruit and tructure showcase a wine that will age for another 10-15 years, is very complex and lengthy. Great drinking today and through 2035+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2022
A youthful, dark purple/magenta colour paves way to intense aromas of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, complemented by a beautiful floral perfume and hints of fresh cedar, dried herbs and toast. The wine is rich and concentrated in the mouth yet retains the elegance, structure and restraint characteristic of great Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe black fruit flavours, savoury oak, fine-grained tannins and succulent acidity combine to produce an authoritative, vibrant and textural palate with an exceptionally long finish. A quintessential Cabernet Sauvignon of power and poise that will reward cellaring for up to 15 years. Drink 2020 to 2035.
Hand harvested fruit was destemmed to obtain 100% whole berries and transferred either to a small open-top or large closed-top fermenter. The fermenting must was either gently plunged twice or pumped over once per day to extract colour and tannin. Total time on skins ranged from 19 to 29 days before the two wines were, pressed, settled and transferred to new 225-litre French oak barriques for maturation.
