Nov 9th, 2022Trademark Margaret River herbaceousness with a touch of tobacco. On the palate some Cabernet cassis but the herbal brambley elements dominate. Can drink now or in the short term.

Jul 19th, 2019Much better than advertised, the 2019 Ring • Bolt Cabernet has all kinds of things going for it. We decanted it. But even before that this incredibly delightful Margaret River Cabernet openly betrays its value.. the nose is ripe, round and full of character. Stewed cherry and even deeper hints of cassis reveal themselves before it arrives on the palate- and a juicy arrival it is. The finish is juicy, though not in any way abbreviated- just balanced. This is a lush, young Cabernet that drinks beyond its years and far beyond its price.

1 person found it helpfulMar 8th, 2014Third of the blind reds for this quarter's S&E Wine Club. Theme was Chardonnays for white wine and red wines you can purchase at grocery stores.
Bricking on the edges with a deep garnet core. Old nose with woody elements, newspaper, a touch of cinnamon and red berries. Integrated medium tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. A lot nicer on the palate with mixed berries and cedar. Quite a bit of acidity and rounded. Medium length finish. Drink now.
