The 2021 Coulter Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium Adelaide Hills red inspired by the great Super Tuscan blends of Italy. Crafted by Chris Coulter, it combines Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon from the One Tree Hill Vineyard, where clay soils over a limestone base contribute depth and structure. The bouquet is layered and inviting, revealing aromas of black cherry, raspberry, plum and mulberry, complemented by liquorice, sweet spice, cedar, dried herbs and subtle floral notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, with Sangiovese bringing vibrant acidity and freshness while Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and fine-grained tannins. Rich flavours of dark berries, blood plum and black cherry are joined by hints of mocha, tobacco, cedar and savoury spice, leading to a long, silky finish with impressive complexity. Matured to integrate its generous fruit and robust framework, this is a wine that drinks beautifully now and will continue to evolve with careful cellaring.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers who enjoy structured, age-worthy reds that combine the elegance of Sangiovese with the depth of Cabernet Sauvignon. Pair it with chargrilled ribeye, slow-roasted lamb, beef ragu, aged Parmesan or mushroom risotto. Enjoy it now with a decant, or cellar for 8–10 years to allow its savoury complexity and refined tannins to develop further.
