The 2021 Clarendon Hills Sandown Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinguished single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from McLaren Vale, sourced from the renowned Sandown Vineyard in Clarendon. Crafted from low-yielding vines, it showcases exceptional concentration, structure and purity, reflecting the unique character of this elevated vineyard site. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite, dried herbs, cassis and subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with fine, polished tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully layered texture, delivering flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry intertwined with hints of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, bay leaf and mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, combining power with elegance and outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon for collectors and lovers of premium Australian reds seeking depth, structure and longevity. Enjoy after a generous decant or cellar confidently over the next 15–20 years. Ideal with Wagyu beef, roast lamb, venison, beef Wellington or mature hard cheeses.
