Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 – Black Market Deal #38830
- Medium bodied
- Manjimup
This producer is a model of WA consistency. Year in and year out, they produce wines that shine with never a hair out of place. It certainly doesn’t hurt that 2018 was the best vintage for WA cabernet in a decade. This one here sits more in the realm of medium-bodied with great varietal complexity and hints of chocolate, violet and cigar. Another vintage, another winner.

What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
Manjimup
Often confused with Margaret River in blind tastings, Manjimup is a formidable beast of a region in its own right. Tucked away just over 300km south of Perth, this region is a beautifully forested alcove of the usual premium cool climate suspects, and you'll find everything from peppery shiraz to pristine pinot noir.
