Natalie's Score: 92/100

From Western Australia's Margaret River and the Yalumba Wine Company, Ringbolt 21 Barriques (2012) is a medium-bodied, inky purple Cabernet Sauvignon with ripe blackberry, black currant and savoury herb, and black olive flavours. Lots going on with this Cab Sauv. Minty blackberry nose. Full-bodied palate, supple and smooth. Decant one hour even so. Savoury, some grip and a good finish. Pair with a pepper steak.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: hearty meat dishes, hard cheese, striploin steak on the barbie.

Ringbolt 21 Barriques (2012) is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the Margaret River, Western Australia and produced by the Yalumba Wine Company. Still as inky in the glass as ever, look for ripe blackberry, savoury herbs, cedar spice, black olive and minty flavours on the palate. Tannins are firm and the wine could defintely hold in cellar for 10 years. Drink for the next 20 years. Pair with a standing rib roast. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
