The Wakefield Taylors Family Wines Estate Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 draws its purity and power from two iconic South Australian regions — the Limestone Coast (52%) and Clare Valley (48%). Matured for up to 10 months in French oak barrels (with 50% aged two years and the remainder three years) the wine showcases classic Cabernet lineage and the elegance that has made Wakefield one of the world’s most awarded wineries, including a Platinum Medal at the Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition, 2 Double Golds, 8 international Gold Medals, and 13 Silver and 4 Bronze medals globally.

In the glass, it shows a deep scarlet core with lifted aromatics of rich blackcurrant, cassis, tomato leaf and a faint touch of eucalypt, framed by subtle spice. French oak maturation reveals fine layers of cedar, dark chocolate and cigar box, building complexity without overshadowing the fruit. The palate is intense yet beautifully composed, flowing with blackcurrant and cassis at its centre while subtle oak spice, cedar and dark chocolate glide across elegant tannins — a hallmark of refined Cabernet Sauvignon. A long, lingering finish completes a sophisticated and fulfilling expression.

This wine finds harmony with beautifully prepared proteins — especially roast lamb with rosemary, rib-eye with café de Paris butter, duck with black cherry jus, or aged cheddar where the wine’s fine tannins and subtle oak elevate the richness of the dish. It’s drinking superbly now but will reward careful cellaring over the next decade.
