Bloodwood 'Maurice' Cabernet Blend 2019 McLaren Vale Cluster 8 has a gentleBruised dark scarlet in colour, the invitingly ripe black fruited potpourri bouquet eases through a fruit dense palate of ripe dark chocolate and vanillin char. Those same black fruits suffuse a long textured, well balanced fleshy palate framed in fluent, very finely integrated French oak tannins. Gentle medium term cellaring will only add to your enjoyment of this fine wine. Orange, NSW Winemaker Vigneron: Stephen Doyle
