TASTING NOTES FOR Peel Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Peel Region Western Australia 2018

🍷 Appearance
Beautiful scarlet red with a bright, vibrant hue. Clear and youthful, showing classic Cabernet colour intensity.

👃 Aromas
Classic and expressive, with jammy redcurrant and leafy blackcurrant.
A touch of French oak adds cedar and spice, giving the wine a traditional claret-like aromatic profile.

👅 Palate
Full and rich on entry, delivering ripe mulberry and blackberry fruit.
The mid-palate tightens with distinctive chalky tannins, bringing structure and balance, while subtle oak and savoury notes add depth and complexity.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Supple and smooth with a satiny tannin profile.
The finish is long and structured, showing cedar, dark fruit and a classic cigar-box character with a firm, balanced acid line.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Western Australian Cabernet in a Bordeaux-inspired style—medium to full-bodied, structured and age-worthy.
Combines ripe fruit with savoury complexity and fine tannins, offering both immediate appeal and the ability to develop further over time.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with chargrilled steak, roast lamb or hearty beef casseroles. Also excellent with aged cheeses and rich meat dishes.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously classic Cabernet—this is all about structure, flavour and traditional style.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a proper, savoury Cabernet—or a smart straight dozen with excellent cellaring potential.
