Varietal

Cabernet Sauvignon

By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.

Country

Australia

Whilst most of Australia consists of arid deserts and dense bushland, the oceanic coasts to the south of the country have a terrain and climate ideal for vine cultivation and wine production. It took several decades of failed attempts at the end of the 18th century in order to produce vines of a decent enough quality for making wine, but since those first false starts, the Australian wine industry has continued to grow and grow. Today, wine production makes up for a considerable part of the Australian economy, with exports in recent years reaching unprecedented levels and even overtaking France for the first time ever. Whilst the greatest successes in regards to quality have been the result of the Syrah grape varietal (known locally as Shiraz), Australia utilizes several Old World grapes, and has had fantastic results from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and more. As the Australian passion for locally produced wine continues to develop, wineries have begun experimenting with a wider range of grape varietals, meaning that nowadays it isn't uncommon to find high quality Australian wines made from Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Viognier, amongst many others.

Region

Margaret River

When it comes to the south-westerly part of Australia, the Margaret River is by far the most important and productive of the area's wine producing regions. The region itself currently has over five thousand hectares of land under vine, and there are almost one hundred and fifty wineries operating there, making the most of the humid and warm climate many experts claim is remarkably similar to that which is found in the Bordeaux region of France. Such a climate can only produce fantastic yields of grapes of exceptional quality, and indeed, Margaret River currently produces almost twenty percent of Australia's wines. Both red and white wine grapes grow in the region, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Sémillon being the varietals most commonly and widely grown.

Wine Advocate

The 2019 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a cool wet season in Margaret River, not dissimilar from the 2017 vintage. Aromatically, this remains true to the season, conveying graphite, cocoa, blackberry, blueberry, cooling mineral tannins and a pure, inky core. The 2019 Cabernets from Margaret River are elegant—as this is—and are both actually and stylistically wedged between two warmer vintages of elevated amplitude and muscle.

DC 96pts

Decanter

From a slightly cooler season for reds, this is showing beautiful elegance, lifted aromatics, a corseted structure and fine, al dente tannins. There is plenty of detail here, with layers of perfumed and engaging cassis, white spice, cardamom, aniseed and a pinch of musk lolly. Noticeable rigidity plays in its favour, with the red fruit strap and savoury hues of salted plum and sundried tomato skin underpinned by an earthy salinity and graphite thread. Long and sinewy, it keeps flexing its sense of intrigue and complexity as it receives more time in the glass.

WS 93pts

Wine Spectator

Complex and refined, with black olive tapenade, bay leaf, fresh mint and malty Assam black tea notes, which add depth to the core of plump cassis, wild blackberry and huckleberry flavors. The tannins are polished and the finish is long and expressive, where details of tobacco and spices linger. Drink now through 2038.

James Suckling

This cuvee has improved with global warming, promoting better ripening patterns in Margaret River’s southern sector where this address lies. Still, elements of pimento and verdant garden herbs are slotted in amidst aromas of red and blackcurrant, lilac, sage, black olive and thyme. There is much to love about this wine, almost resembling a riper Loire franc. While the astringent gristle should tone with bottle age, I am tasting what’s in front of me. This should age reasonably well, even if rather green as it stands. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. Screw cap.

WE 92pts

Wine Enthusiast

A subtle streaked bacon note perches atop red and blue fruit, smudged in savory spice, eucalypt, tobacco and vanillin oak character. The palate balances power with freshness via chalky, slightly drying tannins and crunchy acidity. Still young, and in a somewhat reticent phase at the moment, this is nonetheless a regionally and varietally expressive drop that should age a decade or more.
