One of Margaret River's benchmark Cabernets, the 2020 is drinking beautifully and shows exactly why this region is considered Australia's spiritual home for the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"482\" data-start=\"479\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"501\" data-start=\"484\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"501\" data-start=\"484\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"808\" data-start=\"503\"\u003eCassis, mulberry and subtle spice, lifted by a savoury edge that adds real complexity.

Cape Mentelle is one of the region's founding estates — established in 1970 — and the 2020 vintage is one of the finest in recent memory.
