Wakefield
Promised Land Cabernet Sauvignon
PRAISE
The sort of wine you know you should share but just want to keep to yourself.
- Description
- Grapes, Region, etc.
A wine that shows up ready to party but knows when to go home. This South Australian beauty is what happens when a winery decides to make a Cab that's actually nice to people.
Ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry cozy up with whispers of cocoa and cedar, creating something smooth, approachable, and dangerously easy to finish. Wakefield (aka Taylors to those in the know) crafted their Promised Land range with one mission: drinkability without the drama. And let's just say, mission accomplished.
About the winery (a few points of interest to someone unfamiliar with the winery):
Bill Taylor and his sons purchased their 178 hectares in the Clare Valley in 1969. They took great care in selecting their site for its red brown loam over limestone soils, or terra rossa, and the cool climate which they immediately recognized would grow excellent Cabernet Sauvignon. During excavations for the vineyard's dam, they discovered the fossilized remains of seahorses - confirming that the area was once the bed of an inland sea. Taking this as an omen that the soil was fertile, they decided upon the seahorse as their logo and the moniker "Promised Land" for one of their five product lines.
