Devils Lair 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested in the mid-March from core vineyards in the sub regions of Wilyabrup and Yallingup. Fermentation was completed in small static fermenters for 10 days. A wine of great style, concentration and flavour. It will mature gracefully over the next 15+ years.
Matured 16 months in 40% new French oak barriques and 60% in one and two year old French oak barriques.
Vibrant ruby/purple. Cassis, mulberry and blackberry primary fruit aromas with lifted violetnotes and hints of dried bay leaf create a complex and intriguing nose.
Palate is vibrant, structured and focused. An impressive core of dark cassis, red currant fruits and ironstone is complemented by dense and supple tannins. A wine of classic structure and poise.
