93 points - 2025 Countryside Cabernet Sauvignon (Halliday Companion)

Purple garnet hues in the glass. This is cabernet made to satiate those looking for approachable renditions of the style; it's meant to drink now, claret around the lunch table. Blackcurrant, red plum, a waft of white pepper, the blue fruits cooling and pure. Tannins are omnipresent and mouth-coating, fraying the lush fruit to great appeal.
