DEEP WOODS ESTATE Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River 2022 Bottle
About this wine
Deep Woods flagship Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, a Margaret River icon.
Deep Woods’ most vaunted red earned its place in the Langton’s Classification in 2018 (7th Edition) after displaying consistent quality and demand for the required minimum ten vintages. It is one of those wines at the tip of the Margaret River spear - demonstrating the brilliance that continues to come from that corner of Cabernet Country.
Deep Woods Estate’s sustainable and minimal-intervention farming and new trellising systems to optimise exposure have brought the vineyard into the big time. Vinification on skins (12 to 22 days depending on the season) is followed by 16 to 22 months maturation in new (40%) and seasoned French oak barrels.

From the warm and expressive 2022 vintage, this comes from original, low-yiedling 1987 plantings at the estate along with fruit from their neighbouring Abbey Vale vineyard planted in 1985. There's excellent depth and aromatic power from the outset with notes of gravel, bay leaf, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and cedar. A swirl of the glass unlocks graphite, black olive, cacao nib, a glimmer of mulberry prettiness, a camphor nuance, and dried seaweed that adds a lovely salty umami moreishness. There's an inky iodine-like mineral shot through the centre, too. This is quite exciting in its balance of coiled power and detailed elegance, and this is before it's even passed my lips. The palate is tensile and still nervy at this young age. Blackcurrant, mulberry and plum notes attack the front palate, yielding to some savoury notes of graphite, cedar, black olive and nori as it blasts its way through the mouth. It's astringent and fierce in its structure, gripping at the mouth and driving long through the finish with bitter tones of mocha and cacao attaching to firm gravelly tannins. Huge acid here, piercing the back palate and elongating everything with a tart plum freshness. A powerhouse wine of complexity and architectural structure. This needs a long rest in cellar.

I think this is all Yallingup fruit from the original plantings at Deep Woods, and Abbey Vale.
Blueberry, blackberry, chocolate box, bay leaf, nutmeg and assorted dusty spices, plus some dried orange peel. It’s a rich and nutty wine, though kind of only pushing above medium-bodied, with plenty of grainy almost emery board tannin, a slight fresh blackberry tang to acidity, maybe even some raspberry coulis, and while it’s kind of polished in a mahogany sort of way, it has something of an X-Factor that I really like. The finish is bright and very long, and features some pimento spice. It sits well in the glass, and delivers a heap of Cabernet satisfaction. Very good. Very.

Very perfumed and deeply scented with layers of blackcurrants, blood plums, cedar and tobacco leaves. The medium- to full-bodied palate has seamless tannins and focused acidity, giving notes of wild blackberries, violets, mocha, lead pencil and spices. Wonderfully balanced and structured. Excellent.
