Fabulous layers of silky tannins burst onto the palate with rich berry flavours
Consistently rated highly (97 & 98 pts) by Western Australian specialists it is probably little known outside Australia.
It’s from Franklin River and not the better known Margaret River region.
Named after the winemaker responsible for 51 vintages of this masterpiece it’s a testament to his craftsmanship.
The 2021 is James Halliday’s Australian wine of 2025.
I think this is better.

Clear, deep garnet colour. Clean, pronounced black fruit and cedar aromas. Dry, medium acidity and tannins that are very balanced. Medium bodied with long finish. Black fruits with hints of cassis, mocha and lovely oak flavours. An outstanding wine considering the price. Went very well with bbq rib eye. — 6 years ago

I loved this wine - tasted in a lineup of three lesser known Aussie Chardonnays - this was the most austere and "Burgundian" of the three - restrained but beautifully balanced fruit, oak and mineral — 11 years ago

I have several previous notes for this 2010 and a couple for 2008. Houghton I believe is possibly the oldest winery in WA based in the Swan River on the outskirts of Perth. Established in 1836. It would be many years later before wine was being produced in Margaret River. However the grapes for this Cabernet came from Margaret River. As I said see previous notes but I did love Gary Walsh’s review of this wine from the “Winefront” when he said “Sends the Cabernet enthusiasts among us just a little bit wild.” — a year ago

Full bodied, nice deep, dense colour. Subtle spice and more of a savoury flavour. Delicious — 3 years ago

Great drinking at $15 street price. Sandy tannin, medium bodied dark and fresh fruited, balanced and lasts in the bottle for days. Think I need to buy some more! — 8 years ago

Almost syrupy in consistancy, this has a rich passionfruit taste on the palate which matches its tropical aromas — 9 years ago

Beam me forward 10 yrs pls so I can enjoy this with some cellar time. Dark tarry fruit with lively acidity and fine strong tannins that drive a long dry finish. 6 hour decant and it was only just opening up. Next day was at its best. — 10 years ago
