2014 Angus the Bull Cabernet Sauvignon

'FESSING up has brought Angus back to a
more balanced and food-friendly drop.
#winewednesday

ONE TO NOTE:  HAMISH MacGowan had a confession when he released his 2014 Angus the Bull Cabernet Sauvignon mid this year – and that was that he had fallen into the trap of making a wine for himself in recent vintages rather than for his loyal fans, and so with his 2014 had gone back to a more balanced and food-friendly drop.

And those loyal fans will be glad he did, for here is a traditional Angus the Bull to go with a good piece of prime beef: medium to full-bodied with ripe black-fruit flavours and firm tannins, Hamish blended fruit from Central Victoria's Heathcote (61%,) Goulburn Valley (37%) and Strathbogie Ranges (2%) for this most rewarding drop that's got a nice $22 price tag.
