There’s a handful of producers that are must-trys in the region if you haven’t already jumped on the bandwagon. Pennfolds of course is the biggest name with Vasse Felix, Leeuwin and today’s feature: Ringbolt all making exceptional wines year in and year out. Those all make great wines both red and white with the exception of Ringbolt — standout winemaker, Heather Fraser only makes Cabernet off a few choice vineyards.
With minerally rich gravelly loam soils and windy conditions, the wines retain acidity beautifully down here. Throw in a high winter rainfall and pristine, robust sea breezes to cool the precious fruit and you have wonderful conditions for growing superior Cabernet Sauvignon. Complex and layered, combining earth and fruit, these wines consistently overdeliver while the wine world continues to miss out on these brilliant classics.
Par for the course with Ringbolt, their Margaret River Cabernet has been rated 92 points by Wine Spectator, making it the eighth year in the row it’s been met by a 90+ point review. They highlighted the wines, “richness and complexity” as well as the “appealingly plush, velvety tannins” that make this wine such a no-brainer for Cabernet fans.

92 Points, Wine Spectator
Offers a concentrated mix of ripe berry and plum flavors, with black licorice, thick espresso, star anise and dark chocolate flavors that add richness and complexity. Notes of eucalyptus and fresh loam linger on the finish, with appealingly plush, velvety tannins and succulent richness.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This Margaret River Cab walks on the riper, richer end of the spectrum. It opens with dark cherries, currants, earthy, savory herbs and spice, and a briny note at the back, all nestled in quite a bit of oak. Chunky, chalky tannins dominate on the palate, although there’s a good lick of acidity, too. It lacks the balance of elegance and power that many MR Cabs achieve, but it nevertheless is a satisfying and affordable option for big red fans, and a hearty companion to a slab of protein.

Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
