The 2021 Irvine Altitude Cabernet Sauvignon is a structured Eden Valley Cabernet crafted in a refined cool-climate Australian style. Estate-grown fruit from elevated vineyards gives the wine freshness and definition, while careful oak maturation adds depth and complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The vintage shows classic Cabernet character with strong regional influence from Eden Valley’s cooler conditions.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm yet polished tannins, delivering flavours of blackcurrant, dark cherry and mulberry layered with cedar, bay leaf, graphite and subtle tobacco notes. Balanced acidity and savoury oak influence provide structure and length, leading to a long, composed finish with fine Cabernet definition.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Cabernet Sauvignon for customers who enjoy classic cool-climate styles with structure, dark fruit depth and savoury complexity. Eden Valley’s altitude gives the wine freshness and elegance while maintaining impressive concentration. Drinking beautifully now with decanting and capable of evolving further over the next 7–10 years. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, slow-cooked beef dishes or aged cheddar.
