Tasting Note - Brokenwood Cricket Pitch Red 2020
The Brokenwood Cricket Pitch Red 2020 is a rich and approachable blend that showcases the best of Australian red wine craftsmanship. Comprising primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Merlot, this wine presents a deep ruby colour with garnet edges, indicating its youthful vibrancy.
On the nose, it reveals enticing aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry, complemented by subtle notes of spice, cedar, and a hint of chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a smooth texture and well-rounded tannins. Flavours of dark berries and ripe plums are prominent, balanced by a touch of pepper and earthy undertones from the Shiraz. The wine's oak aging adds a layer of complexity, with hints of vanilla and toasty oak leading to a long, satisfying finish.
Additional Information

It’s an excellent choice for barbecued meats, roast lamb, or hearty pasta dishes, as well as rich, savoury stews. The wine’s balance and smooth finish also make it enjoyable on its own, perfect for casual sipping or sharing with friends.
This vintage embodies the quality and consistency that Brokenwood is known for, offering a delicious and approachable red blend that appeals to both casual drinkers and seasoned wine enthusiasts alike. Whether for a special occasion or an everyday meal, the Cricket Pitch Red 2020 delivers a quintessential Australian wine experience.
