Winemaker Notes

"2022 was a warmer, more expressive vintage which has showcased all of the strengths of the Deep Woods Estate Reserve vineyard. The classic dark fruits, bitter cocoa powder and lifted violet notes are all there, along with the most silky and accessible tannin profile you could hope for. This release offers immense quality, power and age ability, these are all the things that make a Cabernet great. Margaret river Cabernet is a thing, but our Cabernet is the thing."

Chief Winemaker Julian Langworthy

Colour

Deep redcurrant and mulberry hue.

Aroma

Crushed violets, blackcurrant and red fruits harness the aromatic lift of this Cabernet. Elegant, dried tobacco leaf and herbs are laced with olive brine, cedar and subtle cocoa dust.

Palate

The palate has a restrained energy, with ultra-fine tannins that finish perfectly in check with a sweet acid line. No part singing louder than the other, the wine builds on the palate slowly with grace and harmony, showcasing essence of a classic Margaret River Cabernet.

Cellaring

Optimum drinking from five to ten years from vintage, however this wine will cellar for the long-term collector.

Reviews

"Very perfumed and deeply scented with layers of blackcurrants, blood plums, cedar and tobacco leaves. The medium- to full-bodied palate has seamless tannins and focused acidity, giving notes of wild blackberries, violets, mocha, lead pencil and spices. Wonderfully balanced and structured. Excellent."

95 Points, James Suckling 2024

"A high-class Cabernet that comes from the old vines of Deep Woods Estate and Abbey Vale. Delightful florals on the nose merge with dark blackcurrant and lifted bay leaf and subtle olive tapenade nuances. The palate is a domain of control and poise with fine chalky tannins and ample well-weighted use of new and seasoned French oak. I love that compelling combination of polish and power with a body that leans slightly to medium weight but with deep concentration."

96 Points, Ray Jordan WA Wine Review 2024

"The 2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a tremendous wine. The 2022 season was warm, early and dry, and the wines have been excellent thus far. Here, the warmth of the year shines through in the muscular tannin structure and ripe, powerful fruit. This has a profusion of tannin on board, which certifies its future in the cellar, but the tannin is matched in volume by fleshy fruit characters, key to its overall balance. History has shown that, generally, I prefer the even vintages of this Reserve Cabernet, and this year is no different. This is a super wine, one of the best."
