Cabernet Sauvignon
Offering terrific fruit
purity with lovely complexity, the inviting bouquet shows cassis,
spiced cherry, subtle tobacco, anise and cedar characters. It’s
equally satisfying on the palate, delivering excellent weight and
fruit intensity together with fine texture and chalky tannins,
making it sturdy and structured, while remaining smooth and
lingering. At its best: now to 2030.
5 Stars .
Outstanding quality showing varietal purity and exemplifying
regional type. Ruby red 50% of the wine aged in French oak
Barriques for 14 months and 50 % in tank on French oak staves 
"A
tobacco leaf note kicks off proceedings, with a swab of black olive
and bay leaf-doused tannins framing a cuddly core of cassis and
plum. An honest wine stamped with regional DNA. A bit thin across
the midriff."

Notes
This wine is a great example of
Margaret River Cabernet, excellent value and drinking very well.
Butler Crest is located in Wilyabrup, the heart of Margaret River's
dress circle when it comes to legendary Cabernets
Bright red
fruit, freshly roasted coffee and elegantly interwoven cedar tones
introduce a focused, mineral palate. The finish is persistent and
elegant, boasting ripe coating tannins and a fresh blueberry
afterthought.
Aromas of glazed cherries, vanilla pod and subtle
French oak toast.
Barbecued meats, beef dishes, hamburgers, lamb chops, chocolate and
strong flavoured cheeses.
