LEEUWIN ESTATE “Art Series” 2014
(Margaret River, Australia) $65
Here’s a stylish, powerful, intense cabernet sauvignon that, while not inexpensive, could easily keep company with cabernets that cost more than $100. It’s from one of the most remote wine regions on earth—Australia’s Margaret River, which sits just a few cool miles inland from the point where the great Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean. This is cabernet at it’s most alive and fresh, with a fantastic rich core of cassis, spice, and forest notes. Terrifically balanced, it’s got many years of life ahead. Leeuwin (LOO-in), founded in 1973, is one of the top producers in the Margaret River and is equally famous for their “Art Series” chardonnays. (13.5% abv)
