2021 Deep Woods Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Langtons Classification 95 pts – James Suckling 94 pts – EL, Robert Parker Wine Advocate Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "Attractive aromas of blackcurrants, dark chocolate, cedar, dark spices and pine cones. Hints of cigar box, too. Medium- to full-bodied, steady and focused with mineral chalky freshness. Firm and structured but refined and sleek. Balanced and vivid. Well made. Drink or hold. Screw cap." - James Suckling Drinking Window: 2023-2039 Representing the pinnacle of any given vintage, the Deep Woods Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the very low yielding original vines on the estate in the Yallingup region of Margaret River and a single grower’s vineyard in the Yallingup hills. The palate is layered with complex and generous varietal flavours, supported by interwoven French oak characters and a savoury complexity. This is an exceptional Cabernet that will age gracefully will careful cellaring. Deep Woods Estate’s sustainable and minimal-intervention farming and new trellising systems to optimise exposure have brought the vineyard into the big time. Vinification on skins (12 to 22 days depending on the season) is followed by 16 to 22 months maturation in new (40%) and seasoned French oak barrels. The Deep Woods Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is an emerging classic. This medium-bodied style is imbued with power and elegance, pure fruit definition, fine-grained tannins and integrated savoury oak.
