2022 Deep Woods Cabernet Malbec

2022 Deep Woods Cabernet Malbec was a truly exceptional vintage in Margaret River. The season started beautifully with a wet spring and late flowering, followed by a warm and dry season, producing wines with refined flavour, elegance and real personality.

Youthful and bright red in the glass. Complex aromas of bramble, dried herbs, blackberry, mulberry, menthol and an earthy, underbrush edge. Fine, focused, youthful and structured. There is a fabulous drive of dark fruits, subtle oak, seriously framed-up tannins and vivacious acidity. A wine that has all the parts and just requires some time to shine. 96 points. Aaron Brasher, The Real Review Oct 2024
