TASTING NOTES FOR 3 Drops Cabernets Great Southern Western Australia 2020

🍷 Appearance
Deep cherry red with vibrant, rich hues—bright and inviting in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and expressive, showing blackcurrant and raspberry fruit.
Layers of tobacco leaf, cedar and subtle French oak add savoury complexity and depth.

👅 Palate
Rich and generous on entry, with juicy blackberry and redcurrant flavours.
Mid-weight tannins provide balance and structure, while cedary oak and spice frame the fruit beautifully.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and rounded with fine, integrated tannins.
The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering dark fruit, spice and savoury oak.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic cool-climate Cabernet blend (Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc)—structured yet generous.
Shows the hallmark Great Southern balance of ripe fruit, savoury complexity and elegant tannin, with good cellaring potential (6–8 years).

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled steak, roast lamb or hearty pasta dishes.
Also excellent with charcuterie, slow-cooked meats or aged cheeses.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A beautifully balanced Cabernet blend that delivers richness, structure and classic regional character.
Ideal for mixed dozens—adds a more serious, structured red that still remains highly drinkable and great value.
