Magarey Lane Glenroy Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 from Magarey Lane in Coonawarra is a serious, single‑vineyard terra rossa cabernet that delivers power, perfume and classic regional structure in one very classy package. This Magarey Lane Glenroy Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 opens with concentrated blackcurrant and blackberry, cassis and dark cherry, backed by eucalypt, bay leaf, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate and toasty cedar spice.

On the palate it is rich, full and firmly structured, with fine, chalky tannins and bright acidity carrying cassis, plum and bay leaf through a very long, savoury finish. There is tongue‑staining inky depth, hints of damp earth and briar underneath the cola and black‑fruit core, and oak that supports rather than dominates, marking it as top‑tier Coonawarra cabernet built for the long haul. It is still in a primary yet composed phase now and will continue to unwind beautifully over the next decade.

Food‑wise, Magarey Lane Glenroy Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 sings with rare‑grilled ribeye, slow‑braised lamb shoulder, roast pork belly or a rich mushroom‑truffle risotto. The wine’s combination of blackcurrant, leafy herb, tobacco and dark chocolate, plus those fine, drying tannins, loves protein, fat and umami, making it a standout choice for special‑occasion dinners and hearty winter roasts.
