Wakefield Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaBig, ripe, and potent, this Clare Valley cab leads with a medicinal-hued black cherry and cassis note, imbued with tobacco leaf, green sap, anise, gravels, and a wave of eucalyptus on the warming finish. Tannins are firm but slightly sanded, with cedar and oak propping up the ripe fruit. The wine was gently pressed to French oak barrels to complete ferment, and it remained there for 1 year (10% new wood). Best taken now with grilled burgers or steak.Tasted: 19 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
