Robert Stein Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 from Mudgee is a savoury, medium‑ to full‑bodied Cab that really leans into regional character – dark fruit, leafy spice and earthy depth rather than just ripe sweetness. This Robert Stein Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 comes off older vines and shows that classic country NSW heartiness with polish.

In the glass expect blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum with touches of black raspberry and pomegranate, layered over cloves, allspice, tobacco pouch, dried bay leaf and a little turned potting soil and chocolate. The palate is full‑flavoured yet finely structured, with savoury dark fruits, spice and cocoa carried by firm but ripe tannins and fresh acidity, finishing long, dry and gently earthy.

Robert Stein Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a natural with grilled steak, lamb chops, slow‑cooked beef, roast lamb or hard, aged cheeses, where its dark fruit, herbal spice and fine, structural tannins really shine alongside richer, protein‑driven dishes.
