96 / 100"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."

"Blueberry, blackberry, chocolate box, bay leaf, nutmeg and assorted dusty spices, plus some dried orange peel. It’s a rich and nutty wine, though kind of only pushing above medium-bodied, with plenty of grainy almost emery board tannin, a slight fresh blackberry tang to acidity, maybe even some raspberry coulis, and while it’s kind of polished in a mahogany sort of way, it has something of an X-Factor that I really like. The finish is bright and very long, and features some pimento spice. It sits well in the glass, and delivers a heap of Cabernet satisfaction. Very good. Very."

"A youthful, deep red and vibrant in the glass. Lifted aromas of cassis, bramble, cedar, tobacco, dried herbs, blueberry and earth. Bright and snappy on the palate. Blackberry, dark cherry, spice, menthol and crunchy acidity drive the flavours. The tannins are firm, layered and sophisticated and there's real tension and texture on the finish. Cellar material."

Tasting Notes
Renowned in Margaret River, Deep Woods Estate is celebrated for crafting vibrant wines capturing the region's essence.
Their pinnacle Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from original estate vines and Abbey Vale vineyard, is a bright red beauty with a crimson edge.
Aromas of red fruit, violets, and cedar-like oak precede a medium-bodied palate bursting with red brambly fruits and cranberries. Super fine tannins, delicately suspended and sweetened by French oak, complete this exceptional expression of Deep Woods' winemaking artistry.
