2020 Cherubino Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River

From the best parcels ex the estate vineyard in Wilyabrup; matured in new and one-year-old oak for 12 months. Beautiful crimson-purple colour gets the wine off to a good start. It's not common to describe a two-year-old cabernet as charming, indeed sensual, but this is what you get here. There's juicy cassis fruit, quality cedary French oak, and perfectly pitched tannins. I agree with the back label that the wine will gain in richness and complexity over the next 10-15 years, but I also argue the cause of the wine now with its elegance and balance (to which Larry Cherubino will doubtless say QED).

97 points James Halliday winecompanion.com.au

Aromas of red earth with a compote of berries and fine nuances of dried bay leaf. There is a freshness to this wine that is the perfect foil to the dusty earthy notes. The oak is gentle with soft tannins and spice notes with a long complex finish.
