Hickinbotham Cab Sauv Trueman

Trueman represents Cabernet in Clarendon at its best. Its purity, its elegant style, its supple, polished nature... it's a wine of its own. Distinct in character, this is not like Cabernet from the Vales below or the hills to the east. This upland vineyard raises fruit of rare elegance without losing any of its perfumed intensity. There is nothing boisterous about it. Lithe tannins underlie a strap of lively blackberry, and perfect amounts of sinew, flesh and bright acidity guarantee a highly rewarding decade or two. Dead serious Cabernet for the aficionado.
