Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

A beautifully fragrant and elegantly structured blend from the Great Southern. Aromas of blackcurrant and ripe plum pudding with a lifted minerally black olive mix. The palate is plush and smoothly textured with fine chalky tannins providing a strong backbone. Quality at an excellent price.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Pure and intense essence of Margaret River cabernet here. This powerhouse wine was culled from the best barrels to achieve the purest expression of Margaret River cabernet. Black fruits swirl through the densely packed palate. The tannins have a grainy feel while the slightly toasty oak adds just the right touch to the palate.

Margaret River

A wine that's designed for immediate drinking. The palate is medium bodied but carries good flavour intensity. Aromas of vanilla bean and plum with a spicy edge. It's a delicious easy drinking wine perfect for the local BYO or afternoon barbecue.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A beautiful cabernet from this excellent red wine vintage. Oh my, it does pack plenty into its medium to full-bodied frame. Blackcurrant with a distinctive bay leaf and black olive tapenade character swirls through the nose. The slightly graphite and oyster shell palate characters provide a neat contrast to the ripe blackcurrant fruit. It's seamlessly integrated with a long polished...

Mount Barker

Cabernet Sauvignon

This excellent medium to full bodied cabernet was sourced from Mount Barker. It is a cracking example of an elegant wine from a vintage that was conducive to this style. Blackcurrant and graphite on the nose with a little oyster shell minerality. The palate is still quite tight with the tannins and new oak in control but the fruit sits...

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

The exceptional 2018 cabernet fruit from Frankland was chosen for this super wine. Combines the elegance and style of that region with the power of the variety. There's an engaging combination of leafy blackcurrant with a trace of that regional ironstone rusty character. The palate is superb with fine chalky tannins in support and a precise oak and fruit balance....

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

A firmish Great Southern cabernet displaying structure and poise. The aromas are a mix of blackcurrant, plum and cherry with a lightly toasted overlay of oak. The palate, which opens up with breathing displays more vibrant dark fruit characters a slightly ironstone minerality complementing. Make sure you decant this one to bring out those attractive fruit characters.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Oh gosh, this is a seriously impressive '19 cabernet. Peterkin has used a small amount of petit verdot presumably to get some acid support. The palate is such a complex weave of blackcurrant, gamey meats and rich syrupy chocolate. Fine tannins with a chalky seashell minerality hold it to its line as it extends to its very long finish. Seamless...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Such a stylish and elegant expression of the '19 vintage. The extra time in bottle has been so important for this vintage, as it has allowed the wine to really knit together and begin to release its riches. Gets a boost with the acidity of the petit verdot and the perfumes of the cab franc. Beautiful palate structure and texture...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Not the opulence of the 2018, but instead a wine of purity and elegance with a long refined palate. Nice combination of meaty blackcurrant on the nose. The cabernet franc brings a lift of fragrant violet and red berry. The palate is medium bodied with a fine chalky tannin and a sliver of oak in support. A stylish wine of...

Pemberton

Cabernet Sauvignon

This slightly more restrained vintage has contributed to a pretty and delightfully elegant wine. Has an engaging mix of light plum, cherry and licorice. On the finish a little chalky minerality adds that final tick. Love the oak and tannin integration which have contributed to the medium weight frit to create a thoroughly beautiful expression of these three varieties.

Manjimup

Cabernet Sauvignon

The smooth rich opulence of the small '20 vintage is on show in this very good cabernet. Dense dark plum and blackcurrant on the nose with a liberally sprinkling of spices. The grainy concentrated palate builds relentlessly to a long finish with the support of a firm spine of oak and tannin. Has the structure and poise to handle cellaring.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Poised, balanced and thoroughly delicious medium bodied blend from Margs. Tonnes of red fruits merge with darker blackcurrant. There's a little of the regional black olive and bay leaf. Oak has been lightly applied and it works perfectly. Super value for a Margaret River wine.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A stylish and generous cabernet from the '18 vintage. The extra time in bottle has allowed things to settle down nicely. Dark blackcurrant with a pronounced minerality of oyster shell and bay leaf merged with some regional black olive. The palate is tightly coiled but with good flesh and fruit intensity. Support comes from the fine powdery tannins and that...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

An effortless and most stylish cabernet expression of the 2020 vintage. The nose speaks Margaret River cabernet with its graphite, blackcurrant and minerally aromatics clearly evident. The palate is more medium bodied but still packs a cabernet punch. Tight chalky tannins with some perfectly tuned fine-grained oak harmonise with the silky smooth fruit to produce a refined finish.

Western Australia

Cabernet Sauvignon

Crazy, crazy, that a cabernet with this much style and personality should be selling for less than $15. But, it is. The blackcurrant and plummy combination opens on the nose and swells into the palate. It's so smooth and velvety yet there is ample structural tannin and crisp acid to control and direct the finish.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Another stunner from the 2020 vintage. This vintage shows slightly more sweet fruit than some previously, yet the firm tannin core remains a structural feature that is part vineyard and part season. Plenty of dark fruits woven with a trace of black olives, bay leaf and oyster shell minerality. So balanced and expressive with an effortlessly long finish.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Another simply sublime edition of this great wine. The volume of fruit was down almost 60% but the small berry influence has added even more intensity and depth, if that is possible with this wine. Interesting point of difference is that the combination is slightly different from previous vintages with 90% cabernet sauvignon, 3% cabernet franc and 7% petit verdot....

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

If you're looking at an entry point into the wonderful wines of Moss Wood then this classy wine is just perfect. It's a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and petit verdot. Firm dark fruit delivered with typical grace and style. Has a beautiful lift and vibrance which carries effortlessly to a long finish.

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

A refined and delightfully poised medium bodied cabernet displaying many of the attractive features of a cool climate in a cooler season. Lift of red berry and muted blackcurrant with a little chocolaty mulberry nuanced complexity. A stylish wine for medium term cellaring.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A powerful statement of Margaret River with the oak and tannin integration very good. It's cabernet with 9% malbec and gets 44% new French oak. It matured for 20 months in oak, yet the oak has been completely integrated into the palate. The tannins are quite sinewy and there's a slightly dried bay leaf and herb character lurking. This mostly...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A traditional winemaking approach has been taken here, including open top fermentation and extended maturation. The best and most complete of any wine I have tasted from Miles. Deep and concentrated blackcurrant with added rich complexity from the black olive, dark chocolate and slight graphite nuances. Had about 17 months in French and Hungarian oaks. Has a dry chalky finish.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Strong varietal aromas of blackcurrant and dark chocolate on the nose. Other notes of graphite and dark plum add further complexity. The palate has a soft mouthfeel, threaded with a firm core of tannin and plenty of oak. It's an immediately appealing wine with generous flavours. Beautifully smooth and effortlessly long.

Runner-up Wine of the Year 2024 A thoroughly exquisite cabernet blend from the great '18 Margaret River vintage. Also has some malbec, merlot and petit to complete the picture. This is the finest Rolling Stone yet released. It's sophisticated and so regally refined with fine tannins and fine-grained oak cradling such beautiful fruit. Perfumed with black fruits displaying ever so...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

It's an unusual combination, but oh, how it works. This wine from the cooler '21 vintage is one of the best. I like its restraint and poise which is achieved without compromising the deeply concentrated juicy fruity intensity. Lovely red fruit mix emerges with a juicy raspberry and rhubarb pie character. Perfectly balanced and perfectly integrated.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A wine which manages to express this slightly cooler vintage in a most impressive way. Roma of black olive and bay leaf, underpinned by a layer of blackcurrant. There's a little minerally oyster shell adding another dimension. The mix of new and older French oak has been well-weighted to allow the fruit to express. Fine chalky tannins provide support and...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Excellent small volume season contributed to the structure and power of this cabernet. It's quite a firm serious statement of the variety with a thread of steely tannin and oak supporting powerful dark fruits with a little minerally black olive influence. Palate is loaded with dark fruits and a chocolate richness that sustains to a very long finish. Serious stuff...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This really shows some vibrant juicy sweet red fruit character which is a product of the vintage. The tannins have a firm astringency on the finish. There's a raspberry red cordial character here with vibrant high energy fruit flavours. A very pretty wine of lifted perfumes. Minerally graphite and perfumed. It also contains a small but important amount of malbec...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The vineyard planted in 1973 is one of the oldest in Margaret River. It's a wine that makes a serious statement about Wilyabrup and old vines. It was a great year, and this is reflected win the powerful combination of concentrated blackcurrant and dark chocolate fruit dominating the palate. The nose shows more minerally oyster shell and subtle graphite. A...

Swan Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon

The soft and generous palate feel of the Swan valley has its DNA all over this appealing medium bodied blend. Leafy black fruit with a spicy plum character. The palate sings the Swan Valley with its smooth seamless structure and soft plush fruit. The fine chalky tannins and light cedary oak complete an impressive young wine.

From the sleeper vintage comes this very good example of the season. Starting to knit together rather well. Lift of leafy black currant and minerally graphite on the nose with dark black olive nuances. Neatly integrated oak and tannin add structure to the fruit. Effortlessly long.

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

Such an elegant and sleek example of Great Southern cabernet. The aromas show a slightly wild brambly blackcurrant character with lifted spices from the cooler climes. The palate is concentrated with dark fruits and a splash of red. It's more in the medium bodied zone with the thread of graphite and steely minerality holding it to a tight line to...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Provides quite a difference to the Scotsdale. The distinctly linear structure and power of Margaret River are well to the fore, while the aromas of black olive and minerally bay leaf speak of the region. The palate is beautifully woven with fine tannins and neat oak in support. Dark fruits, a little chocolate and an ever so understated minty note...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The region, the combination of varieties and the winemaking combine to make a slightly atypical example of Margaret River red, but oh boy, does it work. Super generous and concentrated cabernet and shiraz fill the palate with a blackcurrant, ripe plum and roasted coffee, mocha chocolate richness. The oak is liberally applied to contribute to a style that demands attention....

Margaret River

This outstanding wine is now sourced from Howard Park's Leston vineyard in Margaret River. It's such an elegant and refined cabernet displaying all the varietal integrity of blackcurrant, bay leaf and a minerally graphite black olive mix. A slightly chalky texture edges in to give the palate a structural feel while the tannins are aligned, contributing to its detail and...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The aroma is immediately enticing. The scented red fruits work with varietal blackcurrant, while intriguing notes of oyster shell minerality and leafy graphite and light black olive lift effortlessly. A seamlessly integrated balance with fine but firm tannins digging deep through the palate.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A very tidy cabernet blend. The warmer season has delivered fruit of deep intensity and fruit flavours, which have been captured by the approach of using a basket press with about 14 months in French oak. Plummy blackcurrant fruit combination on the nose with a palate that has structure and poise A leafy lift on the finish completes the wine.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A blend of 90% cabernet and 10% malbec. An elegantly crafted wine from this cooler vintage. Blackcurrant aromas with dark chocolate and tobacco leaf swirling through a maze of cracked seashell minerality, a trace of graphite and a little olive tapenade. A little of the malbec red fruits brings another dimension. A mighty impressive wine demonstrating the adaptability of Margaret...

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is the pinnacle of the Houghton range. It comes from the famous Justin vineyard in Frankland River, where some of the state's finest wines have their genesis. This is one of the most elegant and stylish of any “Jack” yet released, yet there is no shortage of engine room grunt. Chalky iron filing minerality emerge from the dark fruits...
