"Sweet berries and redcurrants with some hints of vanilla and toasted oak. It,s medium-bodied with round tannins and a juicy finish. Straightforward and enjoyable. Drink now. Screw cap."

"Ashbrook Estate, one of the oldest established wineries in the Margaret River region, was founded in in 1975. It's very much a family affair with the Devitt family's third generation carrying on the legacy. Cabernet Sauvignons from Margaret River continue to show how much the land loves this variety. This wine has a welcoming nose with ripe fruit, pepper, and a hint of oak. The palate is extremely balanced with great acidity and medium fruit."
