Hither & Yon Cabernet Petit Verdot 2012

Hither & Yon Cabernet Petit Verdot 2012 (McLaren Vale, SA)
13.7%, $35

They make ’em big at Hither & Yon (with mighty cool labels), with this red no different, even despite the lowish (in context) alcohol.

From the get-go this offer a big black ouzo and aniseed richness, pumped up with thick, oak grain infused, cedar and currant fruit.

Heady, oak spiced and just a bit cooked it has power, concentration and alcohol weight but ultimately a clobbering wine.
