Knee Deep Birdhouse Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Another very fine Margaret River Cabernet, only in the shadow of its elder sibling by virtue of that wine enjoying an extra year of age. 14 months in French oak here, with 30% new, that extra oak is still fully coming together but all signs are promising as the wine is already thoroughly enjoyable. Dark crimson in colour, we have aromas moving through spicy notes, coffee grinds, red fruits, dry herbs, licorice, hints of cloves, raspberries and cherries. There is decent length here with fine tannins, the structure slightly softer and more elegant than its elder. Four to eight years.
