The partnership of David O'Leary and Nick Walker, O'Leary Walker Wines has been creating small batch, hand-crafted wines for several decades. With a philosophy of sourcing the best fruit from the best vineyard sites, O'Leary Walker consistently produce some of the finest examples of the Clare Valley's hero varietals.
O'Leary Walker's Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown on two premium vineyards in the Clare Valley; the organically certified, low-yielding 'Doctor's Block' in Polish Hill River, along with the legendary 50-year-old dry grown Armagh vineyard.
The 2024 O'Leary Walker Cabernet Sauvignon is a superb example of the lofty heights Clare Valley Cabernet can reach when done well. Opening with lifted aromas of blackcurrant, cherry and violets, the palate is concentrated with rich fruit notes and hints of satsuma plum and charred oak, adding a savoury edge to the rich fruit profile. The tannins are finely textured helping deliver a silky, polished mouthfeel on the exceptionally long finish. A Cabernet Sauvignon of undoubted class with a long life ahead of it, this offers exceptional value for money at this discounted price.
