The 2023 Hither & Yon Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon from South Australia, crafted by Hither & Yon using fruit from sustainably managed vineyards. Made in a fresh, modern style, it showcases the purity of Cabernet Sauvignon while retaining the elegance and drinkability that defines the winery's approach. The nose is expressive with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by notes of roasted coffee, nougat, red capsicum and lightly spiced oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and refreshing natural acidity. Flavours of boysenberry, blueberry and redcurrant are layered with hints of bay leaf, tobacco, violet, cedar and gentle vanilla spice, leading to a long, balanced finish. The wine's supple structure and vibrant fruit make it approachable in its youth while offering enough depth to reward short-term cellaring.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a modern McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon with generous fruit, freshness and outstanding value. Pair it with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-roasted lamb, beef burgers or aged cheddar. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar for 5–8 years as the wine develops greater savoury complexity and polished texture.
