Driftwood Artifacts Margaret River Cabernet 2019 (JH 94)

Gold Medal - Sydney Royal Wine Show
95/100 - Sydney Royal Wine Show

With 4/4/3/1% malbec/shiraz/petit verdot/cabernet franc. Matured for 18 months in French oak (38% new). Really brilliant. This has cassis, raspberry, salted licorice, hints of salt bush and bay leaf, fine crushed black pepper, briny acidity and plump yet fine mouthfeel. It is shapely. This is another producer on the rise in Margaret River, and this is a wonderful wine. Seek it out. 94 points.
