This 2020 Yellow Hammer Hill contains Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the usual Shiraz and Malbec. It leads with a balanced, fulsome nose, with roasted meat crust, redcurrant, raspberry licorice, anise, fennel seed, black pepper, iodine, and a dusting of iron. It's glorious. The wine is satisfying and full and savory; the oak is supportive but not intrusive. It's an all-around impressive wine that delivers flavor, texture and spice in spades. There's good, solid drinking here. Well done! I easily recommend this for those who chase satisfying, savory flavor saturation in their wines...
