Wakefield Cabernet Sauvignon Promised Land South Australia 2019 750 ML

This wine offers fleshy red fruit, gentle baking spice and earthy herbs. The medium- to full-bodied palate is equally soft and supple. The fruit remains bright and juicy while the tannins are structured and textural. Producer Information Taylors Wines, known as Wakefield Wines in certain regions, is an Australian producer in the Clare Valley. It has a large catalog of wines but is best known for the popular South Australian varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Riesling and Chardonnay. The winery was established in 1969 by Bill Taylor and his sons with the purchase of 178 hectares (430 acres) of land in the Clare Valley. Its alternative title, Wakefield Wines, comes from the vineyard's proximity to the Wakefield river. The first wine it produced was the 1973 Taylors Cabernet Sauvignon, which received critical praise when it won gold medals at every Australian national wine show in which it was entered. Taylors has a broad range of wine collections from value to super premium in price. Some individual wines however don't appear under the Wakefield Wines label – including the entire Taylors Winemaker's Project (TWP), which is almost entirely available only from the winery. The flagship Taylors Estate collection is suitably outfitted as Wakefield Estate under the Wakefield Wines brand. The flagship wine of the portfolio is The Legacy, released as a tribute to the company's 50th year of producing wine. The varietal Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the Clare Valley and spends 36 months maturing in oak barrels prior to release. It will happily cellar for up to 20 years after bottling. Taylors is one of founding members of Australia's First Families of Wine, an organization that promotes Australian wine with a focus on the country's wine history and family owned wine brands.
