Allegiance Wines 'The Foreman' Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Dedicated to the 'iron men who built the timber ships'. Allegiance Wines' owner Tim Cox took inspiration from his father Jim, a foreman shipwright who built and refitted many iconic Australian vessels, when creating The Foreman Coonawarra Cabernet. The 2020 vintage won the Trophy for Coonawarra Wine of the Year (CWSA Best Value 2021), and this 2021 vintage has followed it with a series of Gold (and Double Gold) wins internationally and at regional wine shows across Australia. The scores are high too; up to 95pts multiple times. Sourced from a single vineyard in the southern Coonawarra, The Cabernet expresses lifted blueberry and blackcurrant fruits, along with hints of violet and flowering thyme aromatics. The palate has fresh blue and dark berry fruit flavours, floral herb characters, along with hints of cocoa and cedary oak. Medium bodied, fine tannins and a persistent finish.
