Fantastic value under $20 for this Wakefield 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Clare Valley, South Australia. This is a juicy, full-bodied garnet red wine with a spicy nose and rich black fruits, meat, leather, cedar spice and vanilla flavours on the palate. This is your strip loin on the barbie red.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: hearty meat dishes, hard cheese, juicy rare steak, barbecued ribs in sauce, hamburger.

Reviews and Ratings

Perry rated this wine as 91/100
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Tons of flavour and a great value. Aromas of plum, currant, and some dried herbs, with a hint of eucalyptus. Full bodied, smooth, but with some structured tannins, beautiful ripe fruit, and a hint of pepper on the finish. Enjoy with marinated beef flank steak.
A juicy, spicy, made-for-the-barbie red. Smooth and vibrant on the palate with ripe blackberry, savoury herbs, mint, dark chocolate, toasty oak flavours. - Community Wine Reviews
