Pikes ‘The Dogwalk’ Cabernets 2022, Pikes Wines, Clare Valley, South Australia. This elegant Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Polish Hill River vineyards seduces with perfumed violets, crushed florals, blackcurrant and red currant aromas, laced with leafy cabernet greenness, clove spice and subtle earth. The palate delivers true cassis, black cherry, green olive and gum leaf intensity dusted with pepper, unfolding into concentrated blackcurrant, blood plum and graphite tannins with vibrant refreshment and fine structure.​

Medium to full-bodied yet charmingly fresh, the Pikes The Dogwalk Cabernets 2022 balances luscious fruit presence, earthy undertones and long, supple tannins – a Clare classic for immediate joy or 7-10 years’ cellaring. Pair with grilled sirloin, rosemary lamb shanks, beef bourguignon or blue vein cheese to ignite its poised, moreish depth.
