Enfant Terrible McLaren Vale Cabernet 2021
About the wine
A rich smooth McLaren Vale Cab!
-
James-Paul Marin’s McLaren Vale Cabernet shows typical regional charm and definitive varietal fruit character. With blackcurrant and green tobacco flavours it’s a full bodied treat with structured tannins and a dusty sweet oak finish.
-
Matured for 24 months in 2-3 year old American oak with just a thimble of Merlot and Shiraz to add extra silkiness.
-
A classic McLaren Vale Cabernet typically sells for $25-35 at your local bottle shop. There's no doubt you'll keep coming back to this stunner, so stock up while the small batch is still around!
Best before
This wine is approachable now due however it will cellar well for 8+ years. I suggest drinking this wine within 3-5 years to savour the strong regional Cabernet characters.
Serving advice
I suggest drinking this wine within 3-5 years to savour the strong regional Cabernet characters. If drinking and you have the spare time, allow to aerate / decant before drinking would be beneficial when young.
Food match
An ideal match with pasta or steak and salad. Try with my favourite food pairing, slow cooked lamb shanks.
