2022 ‘Mother’s Ruin’ Cabernet Sauvignon
2022 ‘Mother’s Ruin’ Cabernet Sauvignon
AN ODE TO THE 'LUNCHEON CLARET' - PASS THE DECANTER!
This well-balanced expression of McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is an ode to the 'luncheon claret'. The fruit is from a vineyard with good breeding in the foothills of Blewitt Springs. This Cabernet has been made in a soft elegant, aromatic style. It has First Drop drinkability, so bottoms up!
Colour: Dark plum
Bouquet: Delicate cassis and hi-toned blue fruits with hints of eucalypt and florals.
Palate: Black and blue fruits with a round mid-palate, an elegant core of tannins and a textured finish.
Cellaring: Drink up, but also a 10+ year proposition.

Let customers speak for us
from 26 reviewsThe wines were delivered super quickly so we got to take a couple on our road trip and they were delicious. Looking forward to enjoying the other 4 bottles over Xmas with friends when I’m back home.
I didn't like the previous Drag Queen rose as Cinsault Mataro was just not my thing. I was privileged to taste the new 100% Grenache when it was about 2 days old and even then, it sparked something on my palate that made me think I might very much like this version when it is released. Now that it's in the bottle, it is certainly has lived up to that expectation so much so that I have added it to my wine club order. The 2024 release is definitely a winner for me.
The Spring 6 pack has a great variety which is sure to keep everyone happy, it's also a good way of trying other wines which otherwise you may have passed on.
I will be getting another pack before they run out.
This is such a great wine to drink anytime, not just summer. It isn't sweet but then not super dry enough to have no flavour. This has plenty of flavour for a prosecco and is one of my favs from First Drop. Perfect with any of their tapas dishes too!
The Matador is my favourite drop%2C perfect for long lunches or a pizza at dinner…
It's simply a devine drink now wine from First Drop. Love it!
I love this wine! It’s a lighter style, but full of flavour - so juicy and fruity! Beautiful chilled too.
Such a great tasting wine. So smooth. Great flavour going down and a great after taste.
The Matador Grenache is a beautiful tasting wine very smooth on the Palat, I will definitely be ordering some more in the near future.
Great with food or on its own, just like in the Piemonte
Always a pleasure to drink & very affordable
Nice smooth drop!
What a smooth blend love this, even my wife who does not drink a great deal, loves this drop.
Our favourite red for over 2 years.
