Devitt & Moore Sunderland Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 from Devitt & Moore on the Limestone Coast is a vibrant, expressive cabernet built around bright fruit and supple texture – perfect as an approachable house red with a bit of polish. This Sunderland Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 brims with juicy raspberry, redcurrant and subtle blackcurrant, layered with cassis, thyme, fennel, cedar and a touch of tobacco and sandalwood.

On the palate it is richly fruited but medium‑bodied in feel, with a rounded, plump mouthful of red and black berries, subtle oak, chocolate and vanilla bean supported by silky, polished tannins. There is terrific density for the price, fresh acidity and a persistent, engaging finish, with critics like Sam Kim dropping 95‑point scores and suggesting a drinking window out to the mid‑2030s. It is sturdy and supple at the same time – classic value Limestone Coast cabernet with some real shape.

Food‑wise, Devitt & Moore Sunderland Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is spot‑on with osso buco and garlic mash, grilled sausages, burgers, roast lamb or a rich tomato‑based pasta. The combination of juicy red fruit, cassis, herb and cedary notes plus those smooth, lightly chalky tannins pairs beautifully with protein, fat and savoury sauces, making it a very handy red for both weeknight dinners and casual entertaining.
