Peos Estate Four Kings Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Nineteen months in a mix of new and older French oak for this fine Cabernet from a single vineyard at Manjimup, near Pemberton in the West. A magenta/maroon hue, this is a more herbal style than many. Savoury in nature; dried herbs, tobacco leaves, animal skins, black fruit with hints of leather and coffee grinds. The herbal nature here will be a little divisive, but for those who enjoy this style of wine, they’ll love this. Juicy acidity, firm grip and medium length, the wine is attractive now, but still very young. It will be better in five years and drink for quite a few more after that.
