Woodlands Margaret Cabernet Blend 2020

This is a personal favourite. It's a 68% cabernet, 22% malbec and 10% merlot blend. Such a good vintage captured perfectly to reveal all the power and concentration with a deft hand creating an elegant and finely tuned finish. Super intense cabernet fruit dominates with that graphite and slightly oyster shell minerality helping to focus and present through its long finish. The oak has been beautifully handled. Drink to 2036. 97 points Ray Jordan

A lovely Margaret with its heady aromas of violets, cedary oak, mulberries, nori and Dutch licorice. It feels cool across the fuller-weighted palate, lots of tannins yet shapely and fine bolstered by oak tannins, too. A pop of fruit sweetness comes up and the acidity pulls it all together through to a long finish. A complete wine now but will last some distance. Drink by 2035. 96 points Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

Ranked #3 of 39 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon blends from Margaret River – Deep colour with a tinge of purple in the rim and aromas of blackberry, mulberry and cassis, with a high-note of sweet violets. The wine is full bodied and firmly structured with plenty of firm tannins and notes of briar and cedar that linger on the extended palate. An elegant and quietly powerful red that has the structure to cellar really well. Huon Hooke, The Real Review
