The 2021 Jim Barry Clarevale Cabernet Malbec is a distinguished Clare Valley red blending 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% Malbec. The nose shows damson plum and ripe blue fruits with tobacco, cigar box and delicate lilac notes.
On the palate, it is rich and layered with concentrated blue-black fruit, subtle spice and youthful, structured tannins. Estate-grown fruit from Spring Farm provides impressive depth and a long, persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Cabernet drinkers who enjoy concentrated fruit, savoury complexity and firm Clare Valley structure. Enjoy it now with decanting or cellar for 10+ years. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steak, slow-cooked beef or mature cheeses.
