EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK
Made by acclaimed winemaker, Larry Cherubino, the 2018 Budworth Cabernet exemplifies the very best of one of Western Australia’s flagship varietals. As Larry says, "this range is our top 1%”. Handmade with great attention to detail throughout the entire viticultural and winemaking processes, Larry believes the wines in this range express the very best work of the winery. The awards and reviews the wine has garnered certainly prove the point.
The fruit comes from the spectacular 2018 vintage (9/10 rating) and was hand harvested and hand sorted from several vineyards in the Frankland River region. 6 weeks of maceration prior to maturation in a range of oak barrels and barriques.
“Red plums and mulberries are delivered in bright, pure style here with dark, violet florals. Then there’s a wealth of savory notes, such as cedar, gun flint and cloves. It is so complex already. The palate delivers a very convincing array of purple-berry and plum flavours that completely coat the mouth. So harmonious, the resolve, depth and purity this wields is so impressive. Long and pure dark-berry flavors abound.” -- Nick Stock - 99 points, JamesSuckling.com
