The 2021 Heartland Directors’ Cut Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium Langhorne Creek Cabernet Sauvignon crafted from the winery's finest vineyard parcels, showcasing greater concentration and structure than the regional blend. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum are layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate and dried herbs, creating a classic Cabernet profile with impressive depth and complexity. Careful oak maturation adds further detail while allowing the fruit to remain the focus.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly flavoured, with concentrated cassis, blackberry and dark cherry characters supported by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Subtle notes of cedar, spice and cocoa complement the dark fruit core, while integrated oak contributes texture and structure without overwhelming the wine's varietal character. The finish is long, polished and persistent, highlighting both power and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Cabernet Sauvignon for those who enjoy bold, cellar-worthy Australian reds with strong varietal character. Drinking beautifully now with decanting, it also has the structure to reward further aging over the next 10–15 years. Pair with grilled rib-eye steak, roast lamb, beef Wellington or mature hard cheeses for a classic Cabernet Sauvignon food match.
