About this product
Mac Forbes Hugh Cabernets 2023 is an elegant Yarra Valley Bordeaux-style red from Mac Forbes, inspired by the region’s formative Cabernet blends and shaped for finesse rather than brute force. Cabernet leads the charge, supported by complementary Bordeaux varieties, creating a poised, perfumed wine with genuine cellaring potential.
Expect lifted cranberry, dark cherry and cassis aromas, threaded with crushed herbs, cedar, coriander seed and baking spice. The Mac Forbes Hugh Cabernets 2023 is long and quietly powerful, layering pure red and dark fruit over silky, fine-grained tannins and an energetic, sinewy line of acidity.
Pair this refined Yarra Valley Cabernet blend with herb-crusted lamb rack, roast duck, grilled porterhouse or mushroom and lentil Wellington. Its vivid freshness and elegant structure suit richly flavoured dishes without overwhelming them, making it a superb choice for a proper dinner or a patient cellar.
