2015 Wendouree Cabernet Malbec

95 points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
Medium bodied, thick and tannic, but kind of supple and delicious too, with a rose oil mouth-perfume, and then, a fair bit of Cabernet lash and strictness through the finish. And just when you thought you’d escaped unscathed, whoosh, whoop, crack – you’ve been tamed. Wonderful Wendouree.

Wine Decoded
AP Birks Wendouree Cellars produce some of the very few wines I’ll buy without tasting! The wines are something special. A celebration of an incredible old vineyard with plantings from the late 1800s. Tony & Lita are custodians of something truly special!
Around 30% Malbec and comes from 1975 Central, 1920 Eastern, and 1989 Western vineyards.
The blend of Cabernet and Malbec is well known throughout the world. Along with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, they are two of the varieties that make up the Bordeaux blend. Cabernet Malbec blends from Wendouree, Brand’s Laira (the 1978 and 1979 were epic) in Coonawarra and of course Yarra Yering, have been some of the most thrilling Australian wines I’ve ever had.
