Woodlands Margaret Cabernet Blend 2007
A long-term classic, with finely honed power and exceptional balance. Its heady, brambly scents of violets, cassis blackberries blueberries and raspberries are underpinned by smoky cedar/mocha/vanilla oak with undertones of dark cherries. Remarkably long, smooth and focused, its very polished, plush palate is saturated with intense fruit and tight-grained oak and tightly knit with firm, but silky-fine tannins, offering a tightly controlled measure of voluptuous depth and expression rare in Australian cabernet.

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.
