2018 Robert Oatley Finisterre

Larry Cherubino, Western Australia’sforemost flying winemaker, overseesthe Oatley’s wines, in this case pulling fruit from a single plot in Wilyabrup, Margaret Rivers prime subzone for Cabernet Sauvignon. Wilyabrup is fairly far from Margaret River itself, but the region is scattered with many smalltributaries. Thisis quintessential MargaretRiverCabernet,withripe cases, menthol, tobacco, and spice with expertly crafted tannins. Drink with seared ribeye, hearty stews or anything grilled or smoked.
