Find some of the best lamb you can buy and put this Wykari of Clare Single Vineyard Cabernet on the table alongside. A mouthful of restrained power, this is a quality wine at the humble price of $28.
Dry grown, the fruit concentration that has resulted is clear.
Tight on opening, give it that opportunity to wriggle free and you'll be reaping the reward soon after.
Handfuls of dense blackberries, blackcurrants, choc mint pattie, sage and dark chocolate are the main players and they fold into one another with ease. It really turned the corner on day two of tasting and it was hard to resist - decanting prior will be its friend. Black olives, tar and cloves rise up before cocoa-like tannins take the reins. Drying and moreish, the longer I spend time with it, the more it builds a strong case. 28 bucks is madness - dive in.
