The 2021 Lloyd Brothers Hills & Coast McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and approachable South Australian Cabernet that combines McLaren Vale generosity with impressive balance and drinkability. Produced by the family-owned Lloyd Brothers winery, the wine is crafted in a softer, fruit-driven style that highlights ripe dark berry fruit, supple tannins and subtle oak influence. The excellent 2021 vintage delivered outstanding flavour concentration and freshness across South Australia, particularly for Cabernet Sauvignon.
The nose reveals blackcurrant, plum and mulberry layered with cedar, dark chocolate and subtle minty herb notes. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant dark fruit and gentle oak spice carried by fresh acidity and smooth texture. Layers of cassis, blackberry and savoury earth unfold with excellent balance, finishing polished, generous and quietly structured with classic Australian Cabernet character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2021 Lloyd Brothers Hills & Coast McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is a smooth, crowd-pleasing Cabernet — rich, balanced and incredibly easy to enjoy. Perfect with grilled steak, roast lamb, burgers, pasta dishes or mature cheddar. Enjoy now or cellar comfortably over the next 5–7 years.
