Pale lemon in colour. Noticeable kerosene on the nose with a little white floral character. On the palate, light weight with medium plus acidity. Very dry. Could be cellared for years more, with all that acid, but how much fruit will be left? HH gave this 95 points and a gold medal back in 2019, cannot see it myself. — 8 months ago

Now this Cab Franc was brilliant. Absolutely on song with crunchy acid and tannins, lifting light red fruits and subtle OH. Refreshing and also quite complex in the finish. I loved it. Beautiful. — 4 months ago
Love the flavour. Could do with couple more years to develop just a slightly smoother finish on palette. — 8 months ago
We had this with Sous vide chicken. Good acid line and the quality shines through. — a year ago
Outstanding. The bottle is far too small!! — 4 months ago
Initial impressions were mint, capsicum and herbs. Savoury winning out over fruit. More red currant rather than black currant Barb thought. Expected a little more mid palate fruit which is one of the reasons that Margaret River Cabernet is more complete than the cooler climate Frankland River (south east of Margaret River) where this is the product of a single vineyard. Don’t get me wrong this is still a wonderful Cabernet which honours the amazing contribution of Jack Mann who made wine for Houghtons for 51 consecutive vintages. — 7 months ago

Perfectly judged and obviously well made. Very clean and precise expression. Pepper, spice, and dark bramble fruit with strong violet notes enveloped in a shroud of dusty tannin. Medium bodied but super long and grippy. Strong buy — a month ago
