97 Points - Ray Jordan
Morus is Domaine Naturaliste's finest cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon and a wine that has established itself among the elite bracket of Australian Cabernet. A single vineyard selection of the prized 'Houghton clone' first planted in 1978, these fully mature and majestic vines are some of the oldest in Margaret River.
Always one of the most popular Margaret River Cabernet releases, the 2019 Domaine Naturaliste Morus Cabernet Sauvignon is another impressive release. A wine of impeccable structure and intensity, this is a must-have addition to the cellar for any lover of premium Margaret River Cabernet.
"97 Points. I'm increasingly thinking that 2019 is one of the great sleeper vintages for red wine in Margaret River. Case in point; this beauty which bridges the divide between power and elegance. It's cabernet through and through with a graphite over blackcurrant aroma and a trace of black olive. The palate is firmly defined and structured with tannins and fine-grained oak commanding but still allowing the velvety smooth fruit to reveal its qualities."- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au.
"97 Points. Lifted aroma with fresh sage and thyme alongside black fruits. Black olive. Palate has degree of freshness despite powerful fruit characters. Tannins fine and ripe. A very pretty wine.”- Jane Skilton MW.
"95 Points. Morus as in mulberries, so expect plenty to feature here. The wine is stately, full of dark ripe fruit, bitter chocolate studded with raisins and nuts, woodsy spices and savoury meaty notes. It’s full bodied and dense with expansive tannins and fans of such styles will be pleased. 14% alc. Drink: 2023 - 2035. Screwcap"- Jane Faulkner, winecompanion.com.au.
