96 Points - James Halliday | Last Stocks
The Hay Shed Hill Vineyard Series wines are made from fruit grown exclusively on the Hay Shed Hill estate in Margaret River. Planted in the early 1970's, the vineyard allows Hay Shed Hill to consistently produce flavoursome wines of great depth and character.
The 2021 Hay Shed Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is another top-line Margaret River Cabernet offering that is already receiving plenty of attention. Opening with an intense and rich bouquet led by lifted cassis and berry fruits that leap out of the glass. On the palate there is plenty of the distinctive vineyard flavours of dark chocolate and mint, with plenty of blackcurrant, dark cherry and red fruit notes. Fleshy with excellent concentration, the well-handled oak is in perfect harmony with the quality fruit. A beautiful drinking Cabernet that offers super value-for-money at this limited time discounted price.
"96 Points. Fifty-year-old Margaret River vines deliver a cabernet with deep colour, classy blackcurrant and bay leaf fruit with neatly handled alcohol, fine tannins and a dab of French oak. The value for money is the cream on the cake, as is the way the wine gets better each time you go back to it. Its juicy cassis fruit is faultless. 14% alc. Drink: 2024 - 2036. Screwcap. $30"- James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2025.
