d\'Arenberg The Stump Jump McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Dozen

92 POINT RATED MCLAREN VALE CAB SAUVThe d’Arenberg The Stump Jump McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a vibrant and finely structured expression of classic Australian Cabernet, crafted with the same attention to detail and heritage that defines this iconic producer. Sourced from mature McLaren Vale vineyards and shaped by traditional winemaking practices, this release opens with lifted aromas of ripe blackcurrant, cassis, mulberry and black cherry, layered with fragrant violets, spearmint, dried sage and subtle green peppercorn complexity that speaks to both varietal purity and regional character. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully poised, delivering generous waves of juicy dark fruit, cherry and currant supported by a refined mineral, graphite-like edge that adds precision and depth. Fine-grained, chalky tannins frame the fruit effortlessly, creating a polished structure that carries through to a long, satisfying finish marked by lingering dark berries, gentle tobacco and cedar notes and a fresh, crunchy natural acidity.
