"Exceptional Value" | Halliday Top 100 Wines 2020
Juniper is an outstanding premium wine producer based in Wilyabrup, in the heart of Western Australia's famous Margaret River region. As one of the oldest vineyards in Margaret River, Juniper Estate has a long standing reputation of producing some of the finest and best value examples of the region's hero varietals.
This 2018 Juniper Crossing Margaret River Cabernet Merlot is an impressive example of this popular red blend, with lovely lifted aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry and plum leaping out of the glass. The palate is refined with a wonderful array of red and blackberry flavours, cassis; soft, fine tannins and subtle touch of oak. A delicious drinking red wine that offers amazing bang-for-buck at this discounted price.
"95 Points. Bright, clear crimson-purple; this punches way above its weight from the outset. Supple cassis and persistent - but silky - tannins sketch the outline of a wine with freshness and a balance that will sustain its shape for however long you elect to cellar it. Exceptional value. $20. 14% alc. Drink by 2030. Screwcap" - James Halliday, Top 100 Wines 2020.
