All the Moolydooker ripeness can't hide a minty, greenish edge on the nose of the 2018 The Maitre d' Cabernet Sauvignon. It's full-bodied, ripe and chocolaty, with just enough cassis to round out the plush palate, then finishes velvety and soft. If you're a fan of Thin Mints, Peppermint Patties and the like, this is your Cab.

Aromatic and intense, with whiffs of mahogany and palo santo that swirl around chocolate-covered coffee bean and blackberry preserve flavors at the core. Generous and layered, offering complexity, a swath of velvety, fine-grained tannins and a long finish. Drink now through 2035. 5,316 cases made, 882 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
