Victory Point Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Share

Could smell this for days. Sweet tobacco, cinnamon, bay leaf. Medium-bodied — as Cabernet should be — with just enough grunt. Black plums, sweet mulberry, shaved pencil. Quietly hits every mark, no fuss, no flab. Long, savoury finish with soft edges. Victory Point is still one of the most underrated producers in Margaret River — a dry-grown site tucked a little inland, doing its own thing. Wines of pedigree. This isn’t the exception, it’s the rule. It’s giving… dusty original vinyl. Drink with your dad. Eat with herb-heavy pasta. Fresh, savoury, and bloody good.
