Clare Valley is among the finest terroirs for Cabernet Sauvignon in all of South Australia, and this gem of a Cab from Wakefield drives home that point. Beautifully layered and complex, this powerful example of Clare Cab shows ripe blackberry and cassis fruit, aromas of mocha and coffee, and a backnote of eucalyptus. It’s a stunning wine now, but destined to improve for those with the patience and discipline to cellar it another eight to ten years.
