D'arenberg Mother-in-laws Tongue Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

The Mother in Law’s Tongue is a classic expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the best McLaren Vale vintages in recent times. The nose manages to express characters from both ends of the Cabernet spectrum, dark berry fruit with savoury cedar-like notes contrast and compliment cool fresh mint and Eucalyptus overtones.



The palate is tight and taut but still shows significant fruit weight and depth. The minimal intervention in the vineyards through our organic practices has encouraged the natural fruit tannins to reach optimum maturity. They are long and chalky and support the lingering fruit length. A little time in glass allows the wine to relax encouraging the sweeter, fruit pastille notes to grow.



There’s certainly promise of a long life ahead for this wine or enjoy young with some gentle decanting and a chargrilled t-bone.
