A must-drink Margaret River icon! Rebus Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine crafted by the talented winemaker Bruce Dukes to stay true to it’s heritage as an icon of the Margaret River region. An intricate tapestry of glazed cherries, violets and graphite, deftly woven into a palate laden with flavours of red currants, cacao nib and plum skin. Bristling tannin on the entry and a tensile core of liquorish, black berries and slate, culminates in a persistent and ever-changing mineral finish.

95pt Wine Pilot (previous vintage): "This has it all: it’s juicy and firm, generous while upholding tension. 100% Cabernet from 24-year-old vines matured for a full year in 35% new oak. It is still shy but oh so stunning. Fragrant and heady, a spiced, woody note frames the fruit with incense of frankincense and myrrh. This is pure Cabernet with lashings of blackcurrant, ribbon-like tannins and oodles of fruit on a bed of oak. The oak, firmly a support act, not the show’s star. There’s a fluidity of motion, whirring around firm, ripe and fine-grained tannins. It’s early days, but they already leave the impression of melting onto the palate while the long, lithe line of acid retains its poise. Potpourri and graphite pencil, sumac, dried rose petals, rushed black fruit, salted plum, crackling nori and jet black, fertile soil laced with crushed gravel. There’s a freshness of fruit, too – boysenberry and lingonberry, raspberry juice finished with a lick of black olive flesh. A wine of its place with so much going on in its youth and much more to come as it matures."
