Two Hands : Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

The 2023 Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon is leafy and green on the nose, with cassis, tobacco, caper brine and tapenade. The palate is shaped by firm tannins that are a little sticky through the middle palate and finish, although they provide absolutely the right shape and feel. Classic McLaren Vale purple fruits and exotic spice mark its origins. 13.8% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

This generous version showcases a crunchy, juicy thread. Dried sage, laurel bay leaf and mint complement the core of dark, dense wild blackberry, plum and huckleberry flavors, with a note of espresso, plus a hint of dried violet on the firm finish.
