Woodlands Wilyabrup Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2009
Marginally sweet and confectionary, this bright, jammy and pastille-like cabernet blend has a violet-like scent of cassis, blackberries and cedary oak before a long, juicy and generous palate whose bright fresh flavours are underpinned y powdery tannins wrapped up with lively acids. Pleasingly regional and true to the elegant Woodlands style.

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.
