Mitchelton Estate Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (6 Bottles) Nagambie, VIC

Mitchelton Estate Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 from Mitchelton in Nagambie Lakes, Goulburn Valley is a deeply coloured, classically structured Victorian cabernet with real poise for the money. It shows lifted dark black fruits alongside cedar, bay leaf and spicy oak, with 13.9–14.0% alcohol giving solid presence without feeling over‑ripe. On the nose and palate you’ll find blackcurrant, dark plum and a touch of eucalyptus, layered with tobacco, dark cherry and gentle spice. The wine is full‑bodied yet savoury, driven by vibrant acidity that carries the dark fruit through an elegant frame. Tannins are firm but smooth and finely grippy, leading to a long, structured, poised finish – a powerful but refined style that shows off Nagambie’s cabernet credentials. Food‑wise, Mitchelton Estate Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a natural partner for grilled steaks, slow‑cooked beef, lamb, game dishes and aged hard cheeses. It has already been recognised with 93 points from James Halliday, underlining its quality and cellaring potential. Expect it to drink well now with decanting, and improve over the next decade in a cool cellar.
