Woodlands Wilyabrup Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2013
Lifted by sweet violet-like aromas, brightly lit scents of cassis, mulberries, dark cherries and cedar/vanilla oak with undertones of dried herbs precede a medium to full-bodied palate of length and elegance. Complemented by fresh oak, its vibrant flavours of dark berries, cherries, blackberries and plums, nuances of dried herbs and a faint meatiness are supported by firmish, dusty tannins, finishing with length and texture.

Woodlands
Established in 1973, Woodlands is still enjoying a stunning renaissance that shows no signs of slackening. It has developed its own house style - almost a prerequisite for greatness in wine - of deeply perfumed, pristine fruit integrated with fresh, fine-grained oak and underpinned by a classically fine, chalky backbone, often revealing the kind of dusty, dried herb qualities more often seen in Bordeaux than Australian cabernet. There's again an impressively even consistency and elegance about the current releases, as well as Woodlands' typical cellaring potential. Again, it's hard to pick highlights out of a collection of highlights.
