Robert Oatley Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Deep crimson red with a bright, clear hue.

• Nose: Aromas of blackberries, blackcurrant, and subtle notes of dried leaves, reflecting an outstanding year.

• Palate: A full-flavoured yet finely structured Cabernet of great appeal: black berries, dried leaves and fine gravelly tannin.

Winemaking Process

Grapes from the northern regions of Margaret River – Wilyabrup, Carbunup, and Cowaramup – were harvested at ideal flavour and tannin ripeness. The wine was fermented and then matured for twelve months in French oak. An excellent growing season has delivered well-balanced wines that will develop gracefully in bottle.

Vintage Description

The 2023 vintage in Margaret River experienced very favourable conditions, leading to well-balanced wines that are expected to develop gracefully in the bottle. The 2023 vintage was widely considered the best vintage in Western Australia for 15 years, and the best in Margaret River since 2018.

FAQ Wine Terms 🤔

• Cabernet Sauvignon: A prominent red grape variety known for producing full-bodied wines with dark fruit flavours and notable tannins, often exhibiting notes of blackcurrant, cedar, and herbs.

• Tannins: Naturally occurring compounds in grape skins, seeds, and stems that contribute to the wine’s structure, mouthfeel, and aging potential, often imparting a drying sensation on the palate.

• Acidity: A crucial component that adds freshness, balance, and longevity to wines, with higher acidity often resulting in a crisp, lively taste.

Serving Temperature

• Optimal: 16-18°C

• If stored at room temperature above 20°C: Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.

• Decanting: Being a younger Cabernet it will benefit from 60 minutes of decanting.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
