The 2022 Coates The Cabernet Sauvignon is a structured South Australian red that highlights Cabernet Sauvignon’s classic combination of dark fruit and savoury complexity. The nose reveals blackcurrant, cassis and blackberry, layered with dried herbs, subtle cedar, tobacco and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fresh acidity and firm, finely shaped tannins. Concentrated black fruits are balanced by savoury herbal notes, spice and restrained oak character, giving the wine depth without excessive weight. The finish is dry, persistent and structured, with lingering cassis and earthy nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Cabernet drinkers who appreciate dark fruit, savoury detail and a firm, age-worthy structure. Enjoy it now with some time in a decanter or cellar over the next 6–10 years as the tannins soften and more secondary complexity develops. Ideal with grilled steak, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef, mushroom dishes or aged cheddar.
