About Professional Wine Ratings

A wine score is the quickest, simplest way for a wine critic to communicate their opinion about the quality of a wine. Professional wine rating scores from a wide range of critics, for example Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, are usually adjusted for the 100-point scale. A mean of these scores is presented for specific vintages of a wine, as well as across all vintages.

About The Wine

The debut vintage, the 2017 The Nest Cabernet Franc is a stellar effort. Perhaps because of the cool vintage, it captures those elusive herbal-floral notions that make Cabernet Franc special, with scents from black tea to violets accenting the cherry fruit core. It's medium to full-bodied, with creamy-supple tannins and bright acids. Engaging and complex, it finishes long, vibrant and refreshing. Bravo!

Food Match

A good marriage of food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.

Hickinbotham The Nest Cabernet Franc 2018 (Screw Cap)

This has an intense delivery of redcurrants, raspberries and red plums with an attractive, leafy and bracken edge. The palate has a core of wild red berries with some chocolate also in the mix. Juicy, engaging and flavorful. JS
