Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 – Black Market Deal #38825
- Rich, full-bodied
- Margaret River
This stunning single vineyard Margaret River cabernet has all the hallmarks of the variety that grows so well in the region. Blue fruit and cedar, sage and oregano lead the aromas. The wine has the expected wonderful structure and is in the start of a great drinking window. A touch of spice, medium to full, lovely drying tannins that carry the juiciness along the palate. If you’re keen on a noble red, from the super premium region of Margaret River, this is the wine for you.

Region
Margaret River
Margaret River is as elusive as it is beautiful, such that you really need to visit to truly grasp its haunting beauty. Über-premium Cabernet, Chardonnay and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends grow here. 'Margies' only produces 3% of the country's grapes, but commands over 20% of its premium wine market, and hasn't had an off vintage since 2006. You start to realise how often this region is overlooked when you can list brands like Leeuwin, Cape Mentelle, Vasse Felix, and Voyager, not to mention Cullen, Pierro, Moss Wood, and Deep Woods. It's safe to say that it's time for a revisit.
