Description
The 2022 Deep Woods Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic example of why Margaret River Cabernets are so revered. Deep Woods has been quietly building its reputation since 1987, with a focus on producing wines that balance regional character with a modern edge. This Reserve release draws from the estate’s original vines and neighbouring Abbey Vale vineyard, both planted in the mid-1980s, and captures the best of a warm, dry vintage that delivered fruit of exceptional quality.
This Cabernet is all about balance and finesse. Aromas of blackcurrant, violets, and dried herbs lead into a palate that’s layered but never heavy – think dark berries, a touch of cocoa, and a hint of cedar, all wrapped up in silky tannins. It’s medium-bodied with enough structure to age gracefully but still approachable enough to enjoy now.
Whether you’re tucking it away in the cellar or opening it with a roast dinner this weekend, it’s a wine that quietly impresses without shouting for attention. Classic Margaret River, through and through.

"The power, intensity, structure and complexity are turned up to 10, yet this is still only medium bodied and offers immediate drinking pleasure. Despite all the power, this is elegance personified." - Barry Weinman (September 2024)

"Very perfumed and deeply scented with layers of blackcurrants, blood plums, cedar and tobacco leaves. Wonderfully balanced and structured." - James Suckling (2024)
