This Huntington Estate Special Reserve Cab Sauv was gleefully consumed recently with slow cooked Greek lamb and potatoes and sliced mushrooms and gravy. A truly wonderful wine drinking superbly right now but will cellar for another 10 years easily.
This wine belies the 14.5% alcohol and indeed is refined, reserved and above all in superb balance. It seems only medium to full bodied and has a nose of dark fruits and some earth, leather and chocolate. The palate is as clear and clean as a bell with great structure, great length and the greatest flavour. Tannins are now completely settled and integrated. If only we could get another dozen of these, this shows what wonderfully expressive wines can be made from the Mudgee area with the right approach.
