Fraser Gallop 'Parterre' Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

"A hedonistic red of elegance and refinement that delivers strong and worthy regional character. Fresh and bright, tightly wound and succulent, this is a hedonistic red of elegance and refinement that delivers strong and worthy regional character. Displaying characters of red and blue fruits, sage and bay leaf notes along with woody spice, there’s an overriding feeling of freshness, supported by beautiful tension and a great extension of flavour. A wonderful expression." Top 25, The West Australian Good Food Guide

"Lovely, lifted aromas of bramble, dried herbs, blackberry, menthol, spice and blackcurrant. Classic Margaret River cab aromatics. The palate is mid-weight, beautifully balanced and pure. Cassis, mulberry, blackberry, cedar and wild thyme are all at play. The oak is creamy, structured and frames the fruit superbly and the acidity delivers freshness and drive. Tannins are granular, layered and savoury. A very complete cabernet." 95 points, The Real Review

"As usual, a tiptop Parterre with enticing florals giving way to mulberries and boysenberries, dried herbs, choc-mint and more besides. It’s medium-bodied and wonderfully savoury with powdery tannins and great length. And it will age gracefully.”  95 points,Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

"Beautifully fragrant red showing aromas of currants, plums, wild cherries, chocolate, hazelnuts and rosemary. Soft and creamy, with polished, very fine tannins and a medium to full body. Long and elegant. 86% cabernet sauvignon, 6% petit verdot, 5% cabernet franc and 3% malbec. Drink or hold." 94 pts,James Suckling
