2018 Wyjup Collection Cabernet Sauvignon

LUXURY

2018 Wyjup Collection Cabernet Sauvignon

A sublime vintage, conducive with all Great Southern varietals in expressing its own distinct regionality.

Aromas of blackberries, cassis, bay leaf, tobacco with notes of cedar and floral spicy oak. An intense palate of dark berries and brambled fruits, dense yet fine, compact and intense in youth with tar, graphite, spice and incredible concentration of phenolics (tannin). 

A wine of great depth, length and calibre with long term potential to age.


5 Stars - Winestate, October 2020 

97 Points - "Wonderful expression of the essence of Cabernet. The aroma is a lovely combination of liqueur cherry, black currant and tobacco leaf. The palate seamlessly hugs together with its tanning and oak cloak. Has brilliant brightness and energy. Firm, minerally thread of oyster shell and fresh seaweed. It is so complex" - Ray Jordan, WA Wine Guide 2021 (+ Award for 'Best Cellaring' above $50)

96 Points - "Single-vineyard cabernet with a distinctly inky countenance – this is wall-to-wall flavour that dives deep into the palate and soars long. Margaret and Frankland Rivers may take all the limelight for cabernet, but there are a handful of premium producers in Mount Barker doing the subregion very proud indeed, this being one of them. You can taste the sunshine here, but the cool nights are evident in the bright acidity, rounding this out to a very balanced yet intense wine that is built for the long haul." - Erin Larkin, 2022 Halliday Awards, August 2021

95 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, July 2021
