FIVE STARS | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
4.5 STARS | Cuisine Magazine
Stunning cabernet from a top Gimblett producer. A velvet fist in an iron glove style with impressive fruit weight masked by excellent tannin structure. Highly recommended for fans of New Zealand Cabernet.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "The 2020 vintage delivered many delicious wines including this Cabernet from the Mills Reef Winery - its aromas include black cherry and black berry, there’s dark roasted plum and notes of baking spices from clove to licorice and vanilla then scents of sweet toasty barrel and violets. Dry, textured and youthful on the palate with a core of dark fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, firm ripe tannins and plenty of acidity for power, longevity and to carry the myriad flavours. Well made, dry and ready to drink. It is also a wine that can develop some more if cellared."
The winery writes "TThis opulent Cabernet Sauvignon, with its dark brooding presence, exudes distinctive blackcurrant characters, laced with aniseed and mocha. Silky smooth tannins and ageing in quality oak contribute poised structure and length."
