Deep Woods Estate Cabernet Merlot 2020

"2020 was a glorious vintage and it’s here for all to see. Structural, dense, concentrated and broody, the length of flavour tails out through the long finish"
94 Points. Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion

"Fruit was crushed into separate fermenters and pump-overs and délestage were used to extract tannin and colour. After 12–16 days, the ferments were pressed before completing primary fermentation to dryness in tank. The wine was then racked into tight grain, thin stave Bordelaise French oak barriques, 25% of which were new and matured for 18 months before blending.
This is one of the best wines that Deep Woods Estate makes. It’s the one that I cellar for special occasions and also drink on a Tuesday with pizza .
Deep crimson in colour with purple hues. Brimming with aromas of violets, blackberry bramble and bay leaf. Full and rich palate with notes of dark chocolate, bramble and cassis. Soft, ripe tannin abounds the palate and provides structure and length" – Julian Langworthy, Deep Woods.
