Introduction:
A bold and approachable Cabernet Sauvignon from the heart of Margaret River, this wine combines ripe fruit, structured tannins, and a touch of elegance, perfectly reflecting the region’s premium winemaking pedigree.

Terrior:
Sourced from the Margaret River region in Western Australia, renowned for its maritime climate, gravelly soils, and exceptional conditions for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.

Appearance:
Deep ruby red with a vibrant, almost inky core and a hint of purple at the rim, showcasing its youthful vigor.

Nose:
Enticing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, complemented by hints of mint, dried herbs, and subtle oak spices like cedar and vanilla.

Palate:
Full-bodied with rich flavors of cassis, black cherry, and dark chocolate. Firm yet velvety tannins provide structure, while balanced acidity adds freshness. Notes of tobacco, graphite, and a touch of spice linger throughout.

Finish:
Long and satisfying, with persistent dark fruit, gentle oak, and a savory, herbaceous nuance.

Overall Impression:
A refined yet accessible Cabernet Sauvignon that beautifully balances power and elegance. It’s a classic representation of Margaret River Cab, ideal for pairing with hearty dishes or cellaring for further complexity.

Pairing Suggestions:
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye steak, lamb chops with rosemary, or a hearty beef stew. For vegetarian options, try mushroom risotto or eggplant parmesan. Aged cheddar and gouda complement the wine’s bold structure and dark fruit notes.

91 points & Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast:
"Plump cherry, black currant, pencil lead, dried savory herbs, and a toasty, chocolaty oak aroma flow to a palate that's full-figured but with freshness and structure, wound tightly by savory, slightly drying tannins. Typically Margaret River, with polish and power, this finds regional balance between muscle and elegance and could age several more years." (12/1/23)

90 points, James Halliday:
"What more could you want from a $20 cabernet (that's not a question)? This has earthy tannic structure, cassis-laden fruit, and licorice through the finish." (6/6/22)
