2021 Hay Shed Hill Cabernet Sauvignon

This outstanding Cabernet was produced from low yielding, non irrigated vines planted in the 1970’s on Hay Shed Hill’s estate vineyards located in Margaret River’s famed Willyabrup sub region. Maturation took place in French oak barrels for a period of 13 months.

Blessed with gorgeous rich red fruit, this is a wonderfully refined Margaret River Cabernet.

Midnight black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced red to black currant and mulberry aromas stream from the glass with plenty of potency complimented by some vanillin cedar, tobacco, subtle earthy black olive and distinct bay leaf notes. Delicious red to black currant and mulberry fruits show ample richness and flesh across the palate. Adding further interest are elements of red liquorice, vanillin cedar, subtle tobacco, earth and infusions of bay leaf. Elegantly structured and polished, seamlessly integrated fine grained tannins lead into a long, wonderfully refined finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews…..
Fifty-year-old Margaret River vines deliver a cabernet with deep colour, classy blackcurrant and bay leaf fruit with neatly handled alcohol, fine tannins and a dab of French oak. The value for money is the cream on the cake, as is the way the wine gets better each time you go back to it. Its juicy cassis fruit is faultless. Drink by 2036.
