About INDIGO Umpires Decision Cabernet Sauvignon 750mL 2022
INDIGO Umpires Decision Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a confident, deeply hued garnet in the glass, signalling the intensity within. On the aroma, ripe blackcurrant and dark plum lead the charge, layered with cedar, a whisper of tobacco leaf, and a subtle graphite minerality. The palate is structured and authoritative — much like the name implies — delivering concentrated cassis and blackberry fruit framed by well-integrated French and American oak. Firm but polished tannins provide excellent backbone, while notes of dark chocolate and a hint of dried herbs add complexity. The finish is long, warm, and decisive, lingering with mocha and a touch of dusty earth.
