2023 Wildwood Road Cabernet Sauvignon
NEW RELEASE
Margaret River, WA
Lifted cassis and tobacco aromas with some fine oak in the background make this wine very appealing. A medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with sage notes, and fine, long tannins from both the fruit and oak on the palate. Lovely acidity and a cedar finish describe a Cabernet Sauvignon that will age for many years.

Winemaker Comments
The tenth release of our Wildwood Road Cabernet Sauvignon.
Brokenwood Wines previously included Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon in blends with the first in 1983. Wildwood Road connects Caves Road at Yallingup on the coast to inland Carbunup and is home to several high-quality vineyards.
A continuation of the form shown by the 2022 vintage, with another excellent vintage in Margaret River. The season started with a slightly cooler start with an extended flowering. This was followed by a warm and dry growing season, resulting in wines of pure fruit and great length. The pedigree of Cabernet Sauvignon from this region is on display.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with steak tartare or lamb dishes.
Drink
Drinking well now but will improve with extended bottle age.
