Margaret River, Australia
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonMargaret River, AustraliaBright and deep ruby with a purple tinge. Super fragrant “Old Spice” perfume with nutmeg, star anise, orange, Pimento, jasmine, vanilla, musk and cedar. With old cellar charm, this vintage expresses more earthy, forest-like elements, wild mushroom and dark berry fruit, than ocean scents. So powerful and fluid. It flows from buoyant fruit sweetness with a savoury overtone, into a super-fine, tightly woven tannin profile that is powdery and dry but not intense. It is rich fruit power, but not heavy.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

One of the great ‘go to’ cabernets out of Margaret River. This release is bang on. It’s currant, it’s tannic, it’s varietal, it’s soft, it’s satisfying.

Bright, clear crimson-purple; the bouquet sets the scene with its pristine display of redcurrant and blackcurrant fruit, with the barest hint of cedar, the silky medium-bodied palate unhurriedly imposing itself on the way through to the lingering finish. Classic restraint.
