Wild Duck Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2020

big, bold statement from one of Heathcote’s most iconic small producers. Wild Duck Creek Estate has built a cult following for its unapologetically rich reds — and the Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a standout, made only in the best years from their oldest, low-yielding vines.

The 2020 vintage is classic Wild Duck Creek: deep and powerful with layers of ripe blackcurrant, plum and blackberry fruit, hints of dark chocolate, cedar and a touch of minty freshness. Concentrated yet balanced, with plenty of firm tannins and fine acidity to keep all that fruit in check. Matured in top-quality oak to add extra structure and spice.

This is serious Heathcote Cabernet with the muscle to age for a decade or more, but you’ll struggle to resist its plush generosity now.
