Charisma. Margaret River Cabernet has it. You know it when you taste it, it just melds beautifully into place. The 2021 Eightfold Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon has it. It’s there in the warm and expressive nature of the fruit – the balance achieved between oak and fruit and tannin. The way the middle palate opens and explores the vinous landscape so well, bringing in texture, plushness and structure. The fact that while it drinks so well right now upon release, its wine journey is just beginning. It will take 10 years in its stride. And then there’s the natural poise achieved. That’s charisma, it’s got it.
