About Majella Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750mL
Majella's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra opens with a deep, brooding ruby-crimson hue and an immediately inviting bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum, and crushed violets lifted by a whisper of eucalyptus — a hallmark of the region's cool-climate terra rossa terroir. On the palate, the wine is structured yet generous, delivering waves of cassis, black cherry, and dark chocolate framed by cedary oak and a subtle graphite minerality. The tannins are firm but finely grained, speaking to the quality of the vintage and Majella's meticulous winemaking. A medium-weight acidity keeps everything fresh and lively, ensuring excellent balance throughout.
