The 2023 Heartland Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Langhorne Creek red crafted by Ben Glaetzer. The nose shows ripe plum and blackcurrant with lifted violet, clove and aniseed, while the cool 2023 growing season helped retain freshness and vibrant fruit character.
On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied with juicy plum and cassis, balanced acidity and well-defined tannins. Bay leaf and subtle coffee notes add a savoury edge, leading to a long, persistent finish. Twelve months in French and American oak provides additional structure and gentle spice without overwhelming the fruit.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Cabernet Sauvignon drinkers who enjoy generous dark fruit with savoury complexity and firm structure. Enjoy now or cellar over the next several years. Pair with roast lamb, grilled steak, beef dishes, mushroom dishes or mature cheddar.
