Riley Harrison 'Kookaburra' Cabernet Shiraz 2022

Cabernet and shiraz. Aussie, ey? McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills, respectively. Cab is Hickinbotham Vineyard, shiraz is Murdoch Hill. Nice.

Great wine this, fine boned, fresh as, juicy and yet tempered with ribs of al dente tannin. Big perfumed, red fruited, faint Aussie bush character, white pepper. Flavours fine and fresh too, similarly red fruited, eucalyptus, pepper, some graphite mineral character. Great length and sense of purity. Lacy, pretty red. 93 points, drink 2023-2030+, Mike Bennie, Winefront.
