Margaret River
size
6x750ml
Brilliant, dark red in appearance with tinges of purple, this wine displays bright aromatics of ripe plum fruits, cassis, bay leaf and dried herbs with hints of toasted oak chariness and subtle mocha spice.
TASTING NOTES
A full bodied and highly structured wine showing classic varietal characters of cassis, plum and tobacco. The rich and dense fruit are balanced by ample fine grained tannins providing structure and the backbone for longevity. An exceptional wine with outstanding structure, flavour and complexity that has the balance and poise to age for up to 15 years.

2017 Vintage
Halliday Wine Companion 2021 - James Halliday
"From a dry-grown single vineyard in Wilyabrup. Selectiv-harvested or hand-picked and sorted, open-fermented 10 days, basket-pressed, matured for 15 months in French barriques. A long-established classic Margaret River cabernet, every step along the way precisely measured."

Ray Jordan - The West Australian Wine Guide 2020
“An elegant and most stylish cabernet from this cool Margaret River vintage. Leafy black olive and blackcurrant fruit aromas with a trace of bay leaf and oyster shell. The palate is perfectly integrated with chalky, firm tannins and plenty of fine-grained oak. Beautifully crafted tribute to the man who pointed to Margaret River all those years ago.”
