What the Critics say
14 months in French oak (55% new). 2017 was a cool year yet the best of the cabernets produced in that vintage are concentrated, dense and full of pedigree and flavour. Cassis, mulberry, salted black licorice and Szechuan peppercorns. Very long, very dense and lots going on. In his wisdom, my uncle once told me 'the secret to a good party is too loud, too busy and too dark.' This wine has all the makings of a great party - everything crammed into the bottle with the endurance to go long.
96 points | Erin Larkin, Wine Companion
Domaine Naturaliste's finest cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon from the heart of Margaret River. A single vineyard selection of the prized “Houghton clone” planted in 1978 and then another section in 1982. These fully mature and majestic vines are some of the oldest in the region, planted by the second wave of winegrowing pioneers. The gravelly soils of the vineyard are flanked by the dominant native hard wood trees named Jarrah. Jarrah trees are a favourable and exact biological indicator that the site is ideally matched to Cabernet Sauvignon.
