Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Cloudburst

Professionele reviews

James Suckling (95)

This is a tiny-production, beautifully drinkable cabernet with currants and plums, as well as shell and hints of fresh herbs. Medium to full body, round and lightly velvety texture and a juicy finish. From organically grown grapes. This will drink incredibly well now, but will improve with age. 3,000 bottles made.

This style of Cabernet Sauvignon is what you come to Margaret River for. Blueberry flavours that are both concentrated and creamy, dripping with savoury herbs and cocoa dusting. Liquorice root runs through the precisely held in place tannins, and this is a gorgeous wine from what was a relatively cool and long growing season in Margaret River. 3.8pH. Entirely dry grown, organic.

96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec. Rainy winter and spring, with persistent cool temperatures leading to a late and full budburst. The cool and wet growing season led to late harvests.

Deep ruby-purple in the glass. Sweet and smoky on the nose, blackberry and bramble. Underneath that there is an intriguing mulchy green edge akin to tomato stalks. The palate is full of black fruit, with wafts of tobacco and cedar, along with more tomato. There is a fresh acid bite, which accentuates the fresher notes in the mix. Zippy to the finish.
