Deep mulberry purple hue on first pour.
Initial aromas of oak-derived pencil shavings, leather with hints of green capsicum and tobacco swirl and morph on breathing.
Ripe tannins, crisp acid and a warming glycerol glide carry those generous varietal components to a long finish.
This medal-worthy Ross Hill 'Pinnacle Series' Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 shows restrained elegance and will reward some cellaring.
