RRP $45 | 95 Points - James Halliday
The 2019 Sevenhill Quarry Road Cabernet Malbec is a fine example of this classic Clare Valley blend, made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. An approachable, medium-bodied red wine, the palate offers layers of blackcurrant, black plum and dark chocolate, which are supported by some herbal spice and fine, grippy tannins. With a RRP of $45, this offers exceptional value-for-money at this heavily discounted price.
"95 Points. Cabernet sauvignon (77%), malbec (18%), cabernet franc (5%); 15 days on skins thence to used French hogsheads for 7 months. An attractive medium to full-bodied palate reaffirming the Clare Valley’s synergy with this graceful Bordeaux blend. 13.5% alc. Screwcap. Drink to 2039. $45"- James Halliday, The Weekend Australian.
“94 Points. Here is one of the quintessential Clare Valley combinations - cabernet sauvignon & malbec. They are two compatible bedfellows &, when made into this elegant medium bodied red, work in perfect synergy. Blackcurrant, bay leaf & a slightly ironstone character emerge. Brilliant & vibrant with a perfumed lift on the nose. Impeccable $50. Drink: 2022 - 2034”- Ray Jordan, winepilot.com.
