Juniper Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 - a perfect follow-up

Juniper Estate’s 2008 cabernet sauvignon was one of the best Australian wines released last year. It showed it’s class at many tastings, particularly at the Cape Mentelle international benchmarking event, where it held its ground alongside First Growth Bordeaux at more than twenty times the price. We loved it, and you did too. It was our best-selling premium cabernet last year.

The 2009 has just been released. ‘08 was a hard act to follow but this Juniper Estate ‘09 delivers in spades. It’s powerful, but controlled and structured. It’s beautifully ripe, but wears it’s badge of Margaret River tobacco and bayleaf with pride. It’s very long, with fine, ripe tannins that will see it age effortlessly in a good cellar.

Over at The Wine Front, reviewer Mike Bennie says: “First of all, length of flavour and concentration. Phenomenal. Expectations were high, but the over delivery of flavour, seamless flow and coursing energy in this wine is immediately notable... Excellent Australian cabernet. Rated: 95 points.”

Winemaker Mark Messenger has delivered another beauty, and at a price that puts its more famous neighbours to shame.  Buy Juniper Estate Cabernet Online.
