Voyager Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

95 POINTS! - HALLIDAY

"Medium depth of red/brick colour, somewhat light for a young cabernet, and the bouquet is mellow and cedary/earthy, dusty/leafy, complex and meat-stocky, with cigarbox developing. In the mouth it's full bodied, rich and multi-layered, the flavour long-lasting and uber-satisfying. A distinct nod towards the Medoc here.” - Huon Hooke

“This shows intense dark-fruited character with hints of walnut, pine needle and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and succulent with impressive fruit concentration and a spiced, flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Sustainable. Drink now.” - James Suckling

“It bursts from the blocks with sweet raspberry jam aromas, edging as it breathes towards cloves and gravel. The palate reflects the nose, adding bay leaves, blackcurrant and tobacco. Fine, brick-dust tannin leads the wine out. This looks very good but it also looks a touch advanced; I’d drink this on the earlier side." - Campbell Mattinson

"This classic Margaret River Cabernet comes from two of Voyager Estate’s exceptional vineyard blocks: Old Block, planted in 1978, and Block 12, from the north vineyard, planted in 1995. This comprises 94% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance Merlot.

The fruit was destemmed and sorted to retain as many whole berries as possible. Fermentations occurred at cool temperatures in a mix of small, open-top vats and concrete fermenters and saw twice-daily plunging or pumpovers. After 17 to 23 days, depending on the parcel, the wines were pressed to tight-grained French oak (47% new) for maturation until blending." - Voyager
