Peccavi Estate cabernet sauvignon 2020

This COVID year produced some stunning wines from Margaret River, and this is certainly one of those. It’s probably the best Peccavi wine I’ve tasted over many years. There’s power and there’s drive here, and it’s evident from the first take on the nose. Deep chocolatey blackcurrant aromas, a little olive tapenade, and just that faint hint of lifted bay leaf. On the palate, the rich black fruits are picked up with a slightly oyster shell minerality and some tightly woven oak. This is just starting to begin its journey as those dense and concentrated fruit flavours start to reveal. Excellent wine.
