Calling all lovers of Bordeaux-style red blends. This is cabernet-driven wine from one of Margaret River’s best producers that offers an excellent each way bet: drink now or cellar for a decade or more. It is a blend of 72% cabernet with the remainder of the blend made up of merlot, malbec and petit verdot. A wine of impeccable balance with classic currant/berry/plum notes allied to violet, dark chocolate and cedary oak characters. There is impressive structure here, but also bright acid that aid immediate accessibility. Concentrated but beguiling

Well butter me both sides! I reckon this is a better wine than the 2023.Â
Peach, mint slice, lime, lightly toasty cedar oak, cashew and a little spice. It’s bright and juicy, grilled lime and peach, pastry dough, a lively but settled tang to acidity, mint nougat and floral mouth-perfume, some flinty elements here too, lime and a drizzle of honey on a finish of excellent length. Yum.Â

The 2023 Pinot Noir hails from a superb vintage in Margaret River—and indeed, wider Western Australia. It was mild in all respects, and from the hundreds of wines I have tasted from this vintage so far, it seems to have extracted the best of most producers and their vineyards, regardless of variety. So here, the 2023 Pinot Noir is so vibrant aromatically, with rose petals and pomegranate, ripe summer strawberry and even a hint of kirsch/vanilla paste. In the mouth, the wine is concentrated and energetic, with ripe red fruits—it is positively bursting with flavor. It is rounded and intense, the finish a little warm, but there is so much to love here. It’s a distinct style, Margaret River Pinot Noir. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Bright crimson, with inviting aromas of red cherry pie and dusty forest roads. There’s a ripe sweetness on the palate with a line of tangy acidity as backbone, all wrapped in a frame of velvety tannins that grip until the end. Drinks well now and will hold for a few more years yet
