The 2018 Single Site Cabernet is an elegant wine with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, and a hint of mint. Displaying a perfumed nose of dark berry fruits and earthy tones, there is a smooth silkiness to balance the fine chewy tannins of the Cabernet.

Employing elements of appassimento—inspired by the wines of Valpolicella—this is a fascinating Cabernet, totally different to anything we know of on the market. It comes from two blocks in the Blind Corner Quindalup vineyard, where the soils are sand over pea gravel with a granite base. The fruit was fermented naturally with no acid additions or fining. Maturation occurred in mature oak. A portion of the ferment was first air-dried before fermentation (appassimento), a process intended to soften and lengthen the wine’s tannic frame while adding layers of flavour complexity.

Aromatics of blackberry, mulberry and dried herbs followed by a palate chocked full of sweet black fruits, dark chocolate and spice. Fine French oak tannins carry flavours to a savoury finish.

This Cabernet is pure class, showcasing all the stunning characteristics you'd expect - plum, cassis, and red berries, complemented by rich chocolate notes. Powerful yet elegant, a well balanced wine. The finish brings in bay leaf, cedary spice, and smooth, refined tannins.

95pt, Great Value Cassis and dark chocolate Margaret River Cab.from 5-Red-Star-rated Wise Wines, owned by Ron Wise and where Larry Cherubino is a consultant and works with an experienced team. “An elegant style that doesn’t forfeit flavour or depth to get there. Expect cassis, mulberries, lots of herbs, black olive and cedary oak infusing the more mid-weighted palate. Fine tannins match the acidity to lengthen the finish. 95pts, Great Value” (Jane Faulkner, The Halliday Wine Companion)... “a remarkably plush and polished Cabernet from this cooler vintage."
