Reynella Basket Pressed Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 from McLaren Vale is a powerful yet finely tailored Cabernet, showcasing old‑vine depth, traditional basket pressing and that classic Reynella polish. It’s very much a flagship style – dense, age‑worthy and built for the cellar as much as the dinner table.

In the glass, expect lifted red and blackcurrant, mulberry and raspberry, backed by notes of graphite, licorice, crushed herbs, black olive, ground coffee, tobacco leaf and dark chocolate. The palate is full‑bodied and concentrated, with impressive intensity of red and black fruits wrapped in ripe, fine tannins, giving a dense, lingering finish that’s bold, complex and impeccably balanced.

Reynella Basket Pressed Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a superb match for filet mignon with a rich balsamic glaze, slow‑cooked beef cheeks, roast lamb or aged hard cheeses, where that structure and dark fruit really shine. Serve it in large‑bowled glasses at 16–18°C and you’re looking at a wine that will drink well now but comfortably cellar for 10–14 years.
