94 pts Ray Jordan WA Wine Review 2026 A wine that shows the continuing evolution of Margaret River cabernets, and this one, which is sort of the entry-level for Leeuwin as far as cabernet goes, is a cracking good example of the variety and how far it’s come in recent years. It was a good season and it’s captured here. It’s largely cabernet, but a small percentage of malbec has been included. And this always just finishes the wine so perfectly. It’s loaded with blackcurrant, dark chocolate, even a little mulberry. There’s a brightness and an energy, and there’s structure and purpose here, right through to the finish. It’s a classy example of Leeuwin cabernet from these southern vineyards.93 pts James Suckling Oct 2024 The nose is perfumed and inviting, with aromas of blood plums, dark cherries and licorice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with notes of boysenberries, dried herbs and baking spice framed by a well-structured tannin profile. Very giving and lush. Delicious. Drink or hold.91 Wine Spectator Elegant flavors of blueberry, marionberry and huckleberry are con- centrated but light on their feet, with an open-knit texture and details of graphite, espresso and cedar. Notes of Earl Grey, white pepper and dried sage linger on the finish. Drink now through 2038. 300 cases imported.
