95 Points - Shanteh Wale
One of the most famous names in South Australia's Coonawarra region, Majella consistently delivers top line examples of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 Majella Cabernet Sauvignon is again in fine form; rich and juicy with plum, blackberry fruits and fruitcake-like flavours all on offer on this complex palate. As ever the finish is long with subtle, soft grainy tannins contributing to the impeccable structure that should see it cellar for many years to come.
"95 Points. Black raspberry, red cherry and pomegranate. Burdock root, crushed cumin and pulled paperbark stripped from the tree. Nutmeg and cinnamon. Fresh bay leaf, oregano and pepperberry. The silkiest of palates with ripe red fruit flowing down the centre, wrapped in cabernet berries that weave in and out. A mocha coffee and carob sweetness with a touch of anise and tobacco pouch. Such a grateful palate - it's a dream of a vintage, this one. Screw cap. 14.5% alc. Drinki: 2023 - 2032."- Shanteh Wale, Halliday Wine Companion 2025.
