The 2023 Dandelion Vineyards Pride of the Fleurieu Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and expressive South Australian red, showcasing classic Cabernet character with regional richness. The nose reveals blackberry, cassis and dark cherry, layered with hints of cedar, spice, mint and subtle chocolate notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with deep dark fruit, firm yet refined tannins and balanced acidity, creating structure and length. A touch of oak adds complexity, leading to a smooth, lingering and savoury finish. The style is rich, structured and approachable, offering intensity without heaviness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great value Cabernet Sauvignon and a solid pick for customers who enjoy classic, fruit-driven reds with structure. Ideal for those who like bold flavours with a smooth finish. Not overly heavy—balanced, savoury and food-friendly. Drink now or over the next 4–7 years. Perfect with steak, lamb, grilled meats or hearty dishes.
