Elegance reigns supreme with this Margaret River red. It’s medium-bodied with a stylish union of red berry fruit, floral violet aromas and dense, rich tannins. This is a cabernet with great weight, rich fruit concentration and absolute finesse. If you’re keen to cellar it, try 4-5 years.

Tasting Note
Aroma

The 2016 Dirty Boots is still a babe showing lots of primary blackberry with hints of chocolate, sage, earth and a touch of creamy oak.

Palate

The palate structure show the resolution of the Cabernet Sauvignon tannins; creamy and round but with sinew and poise to carry blackberry and chocolate fruit. Medium bodied yet generously fruited, the 2016 Dirty Boots shows great Margaret River heritage with the different subregions working to produce a Cabernet of class and complexity. Letting this wine breathe for an hour or so before serving will allow all the wines nuances to evolve in the glass.

The influence of Yallingup fruit in this classy cabernet stands out. There's blackcurrant and black olive characters, with a leafy tobacco character. Sweet blackberry fruits and a touch of chocolate underpin the palate. Will continue to evolve. Best drinking now to 2027.

Deepish red colour with a lick of purple. The bouquet is lightly herbal, subtly leafy and red-berried, while the palate is medium to full-bodied and finely-textured, with a lick of bitterness from some greener tannins chiming in at the finish. Medium concentration and length.
