CABERNET BY THE SEA

Margaret River and Bordeaux

Our next tasting will explore two of the world’s great maritime Cabernet traditions, placing four Margaret River Cabernets alongside two Bordeaux wines.

The tasting will examine regional style, the influence of blending, and the way Cabernet develops with bottle age, with wines spanning vintages from 2005 to 2019.

2019 Juniper Estate Cornerstone Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon — Margaret River

2016 Château Sérilhan — Saint-Estèphe

2013 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon — Margaret River

2008 Château Villa Bel Air — Graves

2008 Houghton Gladstones Cabernet Sauvignon — Margaret River

2005 Houghton Gladstones Cabernet Sauvignon — Margaret River

The 2008 wines offer a particularly interesting same-vintage comparison between Margaret River and Bordeaux, while the broader line-up lets us follow the development of Cabernet from the younger 2019 wine to more mature examples.

We kindly invite members and their guests for this special September Wine Lunch
