The estate's Hillside vineyard is its crown jewel: a single block of Cabernet Sauvignon planted on elevated, gravelly loam soils that deliver natural concentration, bright acidity, and the kind of fine-grained tannin structure that defines great Margaret River Cabernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the stewardship of winemaker Julian Langworthy, Deep Woods has become one of the region's most talked-about producers — earning critical acclaim while maintaining a refreshingly approachable price point. The Hillside Cabernet is the estate's flagship red: a wine that punches well above its weight and rewards those who seek out single-vineyard character over brand recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright, fresh, and immediately inviting. The nose leads with red and black fruits — cassis, red cherry, and blackcurrant — layered with baking spices, tobacco leaf, and a subtle bay leaf nuance that speaks to the vineyard's cool, elevated character. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with both depth and succulence. Tannins are bright, fruit-based, and refreshing — a classic Margaret River claret style that is as elegant as it is approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Drinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium-bodied with fine, bright tannins and lively natural acidity.
