2019 First Drop Mother's Ruin Cabernet Sauvignon McLaren Vale

"Here's a ripe, savory and minty McLaren Vale cabernet. Surprising freshness and vitality in spite of the bold and full personality of the wine. Excellent integration of healthy tannins, bright acidity and a touch of minerality at the long finish." Review Date: August 2020

"Presents a lively, complex mix of red licorice, kirsch, oolong tea, oregano and dried cherry aromatics and flavors, with hints of lavender, palo santo and Kalamata olive that are wonderfully plush, juicy and generous. Shows soft, plush tannins." -MaryAnn Worobiec Review Date: July 2023
