2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Wines
When it comes to Cabernet Sauvignon, we’re very spoiled for choice in Australia. Here in SA (where WD is based), we have some of the world’s very best Cabernet coming from the South East and Coonawarra regions and, more recently, some lovely bold and herbaceous offerings from Clare Valley and rich and tannic versions from McLaren Vale. WA is no shrinking violet either, consistently contributing world-class Cabernet and our brethren in the east of the country also produce very serious, high-quality Cabernet. There’s a whole lotta Cab Sav going on in Oz, and that is a very good thing.

- Dowie Doole The Architect Single Vineyard Cabernet 2021Special Price $85.00 Regular Price $90.00Only tiny quantities are made of this wine, which is the product of the finest of Dowie Doole's A-grade Cabernet fruit from each vintage. '21 being an incredible vintage has elevated this even further. The previous vintage picked up 96 points from Kim Brebach who said, "Decades ago, I had the privilege of tasting a group of Barolos and Barbarescos made by Giovanni Gaia. These wines had layers of deep flavour, ranging from smoked meats and old leather to licorice, gravel dust and tar. The Dowie Doole Architect reminded me of those wines because it had some of those characters, even if the expression was more restrained. Give it time, and I think you’ll be richly rewarded. If the price seems steep, keep in mind that a Barbaresco from Gaia will set you back $600." The '21 is better again than the exceptional 2019 vintage, and represents a barrel selection chosen from only A-grade parcels from the old, dry-grown Blewitt Springs vineyard. There's black fruits, licorice, richness, density and layers. A stunning wine that will live for a very long time Learn More
