A. Retief The Cabernets Merlot Petit Verdot Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

A blend that means business but doesn’t take itself too seriously. A. Retief’s The Cabernets brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot in a seamless, richly layered red. Dark berries, cassis, and a touch of cedar lead the way, with fine tannins and a long, smooth finish.

Alex Retief, known for his hands-on approach and focus on small-batch winemaking, crafts this blend with fruit from Gundagai, NSW. It’s got just the right balance of structure and drinkability—perfect for a slow-cooked meal or just good conversation.
