JAMES HALLIDAY

96 points Drink till 2038

"Made with the usual attention to detail by Bruce Dukes. It is elegant, balanced, very long, and a perfect vinous picture of cabernet sauvignon picked at the right moment. Supple and round, it fills the mouth, cassis/blackcurrant providing the structure and texture needed."

THE WINE PILOT SHANTEH WALE

96 points Drink till 2032

"An elixir of blackberry, bramble and cassis. Intoxicating from start to finish. Crushed whole peppercorns, mulberry jam, clove studs and poppy seed. Dark chocolate shavings, fig heart and elderberry. Fruit is compact, juicy and concentrated. Tannins are like flour dust, they are so fine. Oak is interwoven into the wine, showing nutmeg and cinnamon quill. This is superb and shows the craftsmanship and rewards of aging. Sultry, svelte and a superstar wine. Bravo. Drink now and still has potential to age for another 5-8 years. Berkshire pork cheek with Davidson plum sauce would be a treat."

THE VINTAGE JOURNAL

95 points

"Another outstanding vintage that is triumphant in the glass. Lingonberries, apple skin, and a bushel of blackberries. Morello cherries, tantalising acidity, and a plume of dusty tannins. This is invigorating in its freshness and graceful nature. Dried bay leaf and sage with some pencil shaving on the finish. Another 10–12 years in your cellar to boot. For now, drink with a five-spice duck breast. Drink now–2037."

Dear UMAMU family,

We are excited to offer you this Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon.

This Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the classic regional style of Margaret River. It showcases plums, black currant, fresh berries, bramble, spice, green notes, cedar, milk chocolate, charry notes, and floral nuances. With its brilliant length, complexity, and well-integrated oak character, it represents the epitome of Margaret River's winemaking excellence.

Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are one of the world's most recognisable and best-loved red wine grapes varieties. It is particularly grown in the Bordeaux region of southwest France, which has a very similar climate to that of the Margaret River. In fact Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon wines are the most produced variety from the wine region.

Cheers!
