Light-bodied in style, the wine emphasizes liveliness and a clearer fruit profile over dense weight. The mouthfeel is supple with moderate tannic presence that frames the fruit without overwhelming it.

Acidity is present enough to keep the wine fresh and to highlight the fruit, while the finish leans toward an understated spice note that lingers pleasantly. Texture and flavor sit in harmony which makes the wine versatile at the table.

Taste and structure of Western Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

The first sip delivers concentrated berry flavors that evolve as the wine breathes. Primary fruit dominates early on followed by subtle secondary notes such as dried thyme and a light earthiness that adds depth.

Tannins are present but refined, offering structure rather than grit. This allows the wine to pair with richer foods without feeling heavy on the palate.

Balance is a defining trait, with fruit, acidity and tannin working together to create a steady, approachable profile. The finish is medium in length with a clean, slightly savory tail that invites a next bite.

Serving suggestion

Serve this Cabernet Sauvignon at 17°C to best showcase its fruit clarity and maintain a lively acidity. A gentle decant or a short breathing time in a glass will help open the aromas while preserving freshness.

Use medium-sized glassware to concentrate the bouquet and allow the wine to show its layered fruit and subtle herb notes. Slight warming from the hand helps reveal secondary spice elements toward the finish.

Food pairings for this red wine

This wine pairs naturally with beef preparations that are not overly heavy, for example grilled flank steak, steak salad with vinaigrette or beef skewers with herb marinades. The wine’s structure complements grilled char and savory seasoning.

Pork dishes work equally well, especially pork chops with mustard sauce, roasted pork shoulder with herbs or pulled pork in a slightly tangy barbecue glaze. The wine’s fruit and moderate tannin cut through fattier textures while enhancing savory notes.

For cheese pairings, reach for medium to firm cheeses such as aged cheddar, manchego or a nutty gouda that will stand up to the wine without overpowering it. The combination of fruit and gentle tannin plays nicely with salty, savory cheese textures.

Vegetarian options like roasted mushrooms, lentil stews and tomato-based pasta dishes also match the wine’s herbal and earthy tones. These pairings highlight the wine’s versatility across a range of everyday meals.
