Leeuwin Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

* Available for delivery week commencing 22 May *

Stuart McCloskey "The bouquet is jaw-droppingly wonderful and exudes cooling and soothing ribbons of mulberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, liquorice, graphite, smoked oyster shell, violet, coconut and fresh cedar – florals emerge with more aeration. Like the Chardonnay, everything feels so natural and unforced – Mother nature provides the flavour. No more, no less… Just perfect for fans of Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate firmly sits on the same unforced footing, yet the flavour spectrum is expansive and luminescent. Freshness walks a perfect path through the ripe fruit(s) and the tannins are comfy and certainly do not encroach. Cassis, mulberry along with blackcurrant wrap around the fresh oak – exceedingly pure and utterly seamless. For me, this delivers everything I look for in a young Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now (decant for 2-3 hours) and cellar for 10+ years. Sampled using Zalto Bordeaux glassware.”

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front “Gosh this is good. This is the region and the variety and the estate all committing to the task and combining to exemplary effect. Such structure, such fruit, such balance and such impact. Blackcurrant and pencils, dark chocolate and herbs, some eucalypt lift and even some florals. Tannin, my word, it’s beautifully formed, a keel with wings, a determinant. I kept tasting this wine and it kept telling me things. Leeuwin Estate cabernet is now right up there with the best.”
