Tasting Notes:
The 2017 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex and captivating wine, bursting with rich dark fruit flavours, including cassis, blackberries, and plums, alongside a hint of dark chocolate and subtle herbal undertones. The integration of Malbec adds an extra layer of depth, bringing a touch of spice and richness to the mid-palate. With fine tannins and a smooth, elegant structure, the wine is perfectly balanced, culminating in a long, persistent finish. A remarkable expression of Margaret River, this wine showcases the unique character of its vineyards, offering both immediate appeal and the potential for further ageing.
