Description

A benchmark Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon that commands both attention and admiration. Deeply coloured and confidently structured, this wine showcases the purity, power, and polish that define a truly great vintage. Sourced from premium fruit across Churchview’s mature Old Block (Block 32) and the newer, vibrant Rays Block, it brings together seasoned complexity with youthful energy — resulting in a Cabernet that is layered, expressive, and profoundly satisfying. Thoughtful, small-batch handling and maturation in quality barriques add finesse and depth to this commanding style. Displays a deep red hue with purple tinges and lifted aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, mulberry, and black plum, enriched by subtle notes of toasty oak. The palate is generous and full-bodied, driven by dense, powerful black fruits wrapped in fine, abundant tannins. New oak influence brings structure and polish without overshadowing the fruit, creating a wine of drive, balance, and impressive length — bold yet beautifully refined. A superb match for a juicy steak, a rich game casserole, or a rosemary and garlic roast leg of lamb. Its concentration and structure also pair effortlessly with slow-cooked dishes, hearty braises, or chargrilled meats, making it a standout companion for indulgent, flavour-packed meals. Drinking beautifully now with its plush fruit and power, yet built to evolve gracefully for many years, developing further savoury complexity, polish, and finesse over time.
