Howard Park Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are sourced from several select vineyard sites located in the Wilyabrup sub region and north to Wildwood Rd in an endeavour to capture ripe fruit flavours, supple tannins and the distinctive perfume of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon. A deep and inviting black cherry colour with floral notes of violets and fruity, doughy aromas of just baked blackberry muffins. The palate is soft, inviting, and full of free range forest fruits, vanilla, cocoa and loads of supple, fine tannin. Such a pleasure to drink now but with ample ripe tannin structure to allow for aging up to 5 years.
James Busby Vineyard Series Cabernet Sauvignon
Peos Estate Single Vineyard Four Kings Manjimup Cabernet Sauvignon
Medium to full bodied Single Vineyard Cabernet with a generous mouthfeel, well balanced acidity and fine tannins. Lashings of mulberry and fresh blackberry, dried thyme and other spices. 19 months in barrel, including 27% in new French oak, gives it depth and complexity well beyond what it would go for at RRP. Western Australia's Manjimup wine region benefits from the moderating influence of the Warren River, and the climate has parallels to that of Bordeaux, which makes for excellent Cabernet Sauvignon.
