Nick Haselgrove Clarence Hill Red Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a ripe, full‑flavoured South Australian cabernet that delivers classic black‑fruited generosity in an easy, drinkable frame, very much in the Clarence Hill house style. It’s crafted as an approachable, value‑packed red showing regional character without getting too serious or oaky.

In the glass, you’re looking at deep cherry‑red colour with aromas of currant, cassis and mulberry, touched by a light leafy note that keeps things varietal and fresh. The palate sits medium to full‑bodied with ripe dark fruits, a gentle herbal lift, powdery tannins and a crisp acid finish that makes Clarence Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 feel bright, moreish and very food‑friendly.

Pair it with mature cheddar or gouda, a proper cheese plate with savoury biccies, or classic bistro fare like steak frites and beef burgers. It’ll also work a treat alongside lamb chops, pizza with plenty of meat, or a mid‑week pasta bake when you just want a reliable McLaren Vale‑led cabernet that punches above its price.
