Impressively dark and cassis-laden in the glass, d'Arenberg's 2017 The High Trellis Cabernet Sauvignon remains remarkably youthful for a wine that retails around $20. Hints of menthol and bay leaf add nuance and a slightly medicinal note on the medium to full-bodied palate, while the finish is reasonably long, framed by softly dusty tannins and hints of cigar box.

Rustic and intensely herbal, with fresh green and toasted herbal notes and touches of tobacco and black olive. Firm, chewy tannins provide a backbone for the wild blackberry and stewed plum notes. Drink now through 2036. 650 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
