96 Points - James Halliday
Singlefile is a boutique, family run winery dedicated to making single vineyard wines from select sites in Western Australia's expansive Great Southern wine region. Singlefile are continuing to draw high praise with their wines now recognised among the very finest made in Western Australia.
The 2018 Singlefile Great Southern Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is another brilliant example of this Bordeaux-style blend, offering complex aromas of blackcurrant, plum and cassis. Effortlessly mouth filling with juicy dark fruit flavours, complimented by some subtle quality oak, this is a Cabernet of the highest quality that will provide enjoyment for many years to come.
"96 Points. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot and 15% malbec (it varies from year to year), matured for 13 months in barriques (30% new). This has largely unbridled power courtesy of its medium to full-bodied palate, black fruits ex the cabernet first up, then red berries and a more succulent mid-palate ex the merlot and malbec. Exceptional value. $25.00 13.7% alc. Drink By 2033 Screwcap" - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2021.
