Wine Pilot

The Cabernet Sauvignon fruit sourced from the various parcels across CM’s Margaret River vineyards is destemmed and lightly crushed, before fermentation and then maturation in French oak, 30% new, for fourteen months. The wine incorporates 2% Petit Verdot, as well as 1% each of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. 
A maroon hue, the immediate impression on the nose is of some rather special blackberry jam notes, supported by bay leaves, chocolate, licorice, raspberries and coffee grinds. This is a luscious and delicious style of Cabernet, with good focus, fine sleek tannins and excellent length. A ten year proposition. There are plenty of Margaret River Cabs at twice the price which struggle to match the quality we have here.
