Best's Great Western Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Tasting Notes
The 2017 release of Best's Great Western Cabernet is very dark red with a dense crimson hue. High noted varietal aromas of blackcurrant and tobacco leaf with subtle tones of cedar and cashew. Dense mid weighted plush, black fruits with assertive but smooth and velvety tannins giving direction and length. This youthful wine is a great expression of the variety in Great Western. It is possible to enjoy this wine now with food, but it will soften and gain complexity over the next 5- 20 years. The perfect accompaniment to a Chinese spiced roasted pork belly.

One of the greatest things about the Great Western wine region is its ability to successfully grow a broad range of grape varieties. Shiraz may be the regional hero, but Cabernet Sauvignon from the area can lay almost equal claim.
Best’s Great Western Cabernet Sauvignon is a fine example of the Great Western Regional style; showing rich, mocha and berry fruit with a solid mid-palate weight thanks to superbly concentrated fruit.
Fantastic winter rains set the vineyards up for ideal spring growing conditions that saw great flowering and fruit set. The mild summer conditions and long ripening period (with some timely small rain events), ensured that the fruit matured in near perfect conditions for harvest. It’s a vintage that has more resemblance to those of the 80s and 90s than the vintages of this century.
