Cape Mentelle has a rich history of exceptional quality and consistency with Cabernet Sauvignon from a pioneering producer in Margaret River in the early 1970's to a benchmark producer today. A single vineyard wine with the style evolving over time, the aim always to define a wine displaying classic varietal character and opulence, strong regional identity and with the structure and fruit intensity to improve with extended cellaring.

Critic Reviews

96 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion

“This should be the least ready of the trio of Cape Mentelle '15 siblings, but is the most ready. It is absolutely delicious now, with all of its flavour, texture and structure ducks in a row. It's the stealthy softness of the tannins, which are there, and will continue to do what is required of them for decades to come.”

95 Points - Ray Jordan, The West Australian

“A firm and substantial cabernet that has structure to support extended cellaring. It’s largely cabernet, with smaller amounts of merlot, petit verdot and, curiously, a little dab of shiraz. Has a lifted floral bouquet with notes of scented red berry and cedar. The palate is elegent, with juicy fruit balanced by some nice cedary oak and firm tannins. The style has changed in recent years to one of more robust dimensions.”

Deep colour, good hue. The bouquet is marvellously complex: mossy undergrowth, sousbois, tobacco, nori and dried herbs …
