What makes Yellow Tail Whiskey Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 stand out is its two-layer personality. Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure, dark fruit depth and a firm backbone, while the whiskey-barrel finish adds toasted oak, vanilla warmth and a subtle smoky sweetness.
This finishing method doesn’t just change the aroma it reshapes the mouthfeel too, giving the wine a softer, more rounded texture that feels instantly approachable. It’s a perfect bottle for customers moving from whisky into wine, or anyone who enjoys bold reds with extra richness.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with a dark, glossy core. The nose is instantly generous, bursting with blackcurrant, black cherry and plum, followed by vanilla oak, toasted spice and a faint cigar-box note.
On the palate, it’s plush and full, layering dark berry fruit, mocha, caramel warmth and sweet spice over soft, supple tannins. The whiskey-barrel finish adds a smooth, smoky character that carries into a long, velvety close.
Food Pairing
This wine thrives with rich, bold flavours. Pair it with BBQ ribs, grilled steak, lamb chops, burgers, smoky sausages or pepper-crusted beef. It also matches beautifully with sticky glazed wings, barbecue sauces and dishes with caramelisation, because the barrel sweetness and oak spice echo the same indulgent flavour profile.
Description
This is Cabernet Sauvignon with a twist and it’s designed to be irresistible. Yellow Tail takes a bold, fruit-driven Cabernet and gives it a whiskey-barrel finish, adding extra richness, warmth, and a subtle smoky edge.
The result is a red that feels luxurious, rounded and crowd-pleasing, perfect for customers who love wines with strong flavour, smooth texture and a touch of indulgence. It’s not a shy Cabernet.
