Pepper Tree Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 sits in the “rich, full‑flavoured cabernet” camp, with dark fruits, dried herbs and firm but friendly tannins, designed to deliver plenty of bang for buck at the everyday end of the range. This Pepper Tree Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 channels that classic Aussie cabernet mix of cassis, blackberry and structure.

Ripe aromas of cassis and blackberry are joined by dark plum and a little dried herb, cedar and subtle spice. The palate is full‑flavoured and medium to full‑bodied, showing sweet ripe berry fruits with dried herb notes, balanced by fine, chalky tannins that give good shape and length without feeling hard.

It is a natural with beef and venison, lamb chops, burgers or hard cheeses, and is best enjoyed over the next few years while the fruit is front and centre. Expect an honest, flavoursome cabernet that works brilliantly as a house pour or mid‑week red.
