Curtis Cavaliere McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Share

McLaren Vale is well known for its classy and outstanding Shiraz, and yet when the season is right, Cabernet really excels, and this one is a ripper. Aromas of red berry, spice and subtle, understated oak with an exotic floral note. The palate is intense with great structure thanks to the firmish, fine tannins and the neatly applied oak. This is a wine with long-term cellaring, but it also offers drinking in the shorter term because of its precise balance.
