Winemaker Notes
This wine bursts with raspberry jelly crystal and sweet violet aromas. Ripe red berries, cherry plum fruit leather and hints of cassis saturate the palate with fine-grained tannins creating a succulent, velvety mouth-feel. Subtle, leafy nuances typical of old vine Wilyabrup Cabernet and elegant French oak spice add layers of complexity creating a wine that evolves beautifully in the glass.

Sweet berries and redcurrants with some hints of vanilla and toasted oak. It’s medium-bodied with round tannins and a juicy finish. Straightforward and enjoyable. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is darkly aromatic, with graphite, pencil shavings, cassis, blackcurrant, pepper and sandalwood on the nose. In the mouth, the flavors fall into step and show a svelte casing of tannin around the fruit. Soft and pretty. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Australia’s pre-eminent wine authority and critic, James Halliday, has awarded Ashbrook Estate a five star rating, an accolade afforded to only Australia’s top wineries. He describes the meaning of his five star rating as "Outstanding winery capable of producing wines of very high quality and, did so this year. Also will usually have at least two wines rated at 95 points or above."
