2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River Reserve

When the 2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was released, I said it was the best red wine ever produced at the estate. It is the complete picture of Cabernet, and while it speaks to the weightless prowess that Margaret River can achieve, it simultaneously holds a candle to the Cabernets of the world and says "look at me." It has underlying notes of leaf and fresh herbs, Asian spice and bloody, ferrous notes attached to the tannins. It's good to see it again, and evolving so slowly, too. A brilliant wine from a near-perfect season.
