Schoolhouse Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 by Schoolhouse Wines from Coonawarra is a serious, single‑vineyard Cabernet that packs regional punch with real polish and poise, showing exactly why Coonawarra is cabernet heartland. This School House Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is built as much for the cellar as the dinner table.

Powerful and vibrant blackberry, cassis and ripe mulberry lead the nose, backed by plum, tobacco leaf, roasted nuts, black olive, cedar, cigar box and a lick of dark chocolate and spice. The palate is concentrated yet elegant, with persistent dark fruit, fine chalky tannins and beautifully integrated, subdued barrel characters delivering intensity, balance and graceful ageing potential over the next 5–10 years.

This Schoolhouse Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is spot on with roast lamb studded with garlic and rosemary, beef rib roast, chargrilled porterhouse, venison or a rich lentil and mushroom shepherd’s pie. It absolutely sings alongside cloth‑aged cheddar or other hard cheeses, making it a cracking choice for a smart dinner party in Adelaide once it has had a decent decant.
