The 2018 Fowles Upton Run Cabernet Sauvignon is a structured and refined Victorian Cabernet crafted in a classic cool-climate Australian style. The nose is layered and expressive, showing aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum and cassis alongside notes of cedar, dried herbs and subtle mint.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm yet polished tannins and balanced acidity, delivering flavours of dark berries, blackberry, tobacco leaf and gentle oak spice. The wine shows depth and structure while maintaining freshness and restraint, finishing long with savoury complexity and fine Cabernet character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Cabernet Sauvignon for customers who enjoy classic structured reds with dark fruit intensity, savoury detail and ageing potential. Drinking beautifully now with decanting and capable of evolving further over the next 6–10 years. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, slow-cooked beef dishes or aged hard cheeses.
