2011 Wendouree Cabernet Malbec

94 Points - Nick Stock

“A brighter and lighter expression with some eucalypt and what I call dry Australian bush character of leaves, bark and wild grasses. This is sitting firmly in the red fruit spectrum. The palate starts out very fine and supple on entry, tannins build through red fruit and licorice flavor; there’s creeping length here, holding elegant and long.”

93 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

“If there's anything in particular I really like about Wendouree, then it's their Malbec. Blackcurrant, boysenberry, a fair layer of cedar oak, aniseed, and that blue coloured thing going on violets and blue skinned plums. Medium to full bodied, clearly defined with firm powdery, almost milky tannin, some subtle astringency on the finish, but all up a very good wine. It's maybe the best, most complete, red I've tasted from this South Australian vintage.”
