One of two cabernets released under the new brand and I particularly love this stylish wine. The difference between this and the Karridale cabernet is most noticeable with the Wilyabrup providing a wine with more generous body and weight through the palate. But in both cases the wines present as more medium bodied with an effortless, generous but silky-smooth mouth feel. This was the year of tannin in WA, yet these have been expertly managed to sit snuggly within the palate. Bright and alive with the structure and fruit intensity to handle extended cellaring. Drink: 2023 - 2035.

A herbal, floral edge on the nose, with bay-leaf and a brambly redcurrant fruit character. There is a prettiness and lift to the bouquet. The flavours are mid to heavy-weight, with a briary blackcurrant drive, with some dark cherry and brambly elements coming through as well. The tannins are firm, fine-grained and give this stylish, sophisticated wine a long and structured finish. 23rd February 2021, Drink: 2021–2031
