Schild Estate Barossa Valley 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, $12.49-$16.99, 88 points, poured core black trending opaque unfiltered and dull ruby red with stained hanging legs and a clear wine ring.
Aromas were a cornucopia of wild berries: currants, mulberries, and briar fruit with subtle hints of underbrush, cocoa, and a touch of wood.
A near full-bodied dry red wine with good acidity and an underlayment of tannin managed to price perform.
Flavors reliably reflected the aromas and was fruit-driven with an alcohol accentuation.
Finished fair on the trailing palate, a hint of citrus, and what seemed to me as an understated 14.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my spice-rubbed T-bone steak.
This is not a soft/round red wine, but rather a more austere rendition that may appeal to those who like young Bordeaux red wines, or even young super Tuscans.
