2022 Pedestal Cabernet Sauvignon

Fruit for this wine is sourced from a range of vineyards located throughout the northern Margaret River region with maturation taking place in a combination of new and 1 to 2 year old French oak barriques for 10 months. Winemaker Larry Cherubino stating that in general terms, Northern Margaret River is better suited to red wines with its slightly warmer Indian Ocean influence whereas southern Margaret River favours white wines due to the cooling influence of the southern Ocean breeze. 2022 was a standout vintage for Cabernet Sauvignon with the wines showing great intensity, ripeness and balanced acidity.
Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Showing plenty of elevation out of the glass are blackcurrant and mulberry scents which are complimented by hints of red liquorice, cedary tobacco, earthy black olive and spicy bay leaf notes. Rich blackcurrant and red liquorice fruits fill the mouth with vanillin cedar, mulberry, subtle earthy tobacco and bay leaf accents ensuing. Juicy yet sturdy feel with polished fine grained tannins provide ample structure. Excellent concentration and drive with a long deeply fruited finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
