2014 Queen of the Earth Cabernet Sauvignon – very low stock
2014 Queen of the Earth Cabernet Sauvignon – very low stock
Margaret River is Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Sauvignon is Margaret River. The Flowstone Queen of the Earth Cabernet Sauvignon is from one old growth vineyard in Wilyabrup.
With aroma of blueberries, mulberries, spice, mocha, dark chocolate and cedar, it is a complex and engaging wine. The palate is red and blue fruits to start. The flavours build to a beautifully textural mid palate, supported by the spicy oak, and gently fade with finely honed tannins.
Food ideas: Osso Buco, slow roast shoulder of lamb, venison with mushroom risotto.
Magnums available. Please enquire. Only 24 bottled.
96 points - James Halliday; It has a texture and structure all of its own, verging on velvety, yet reminding me that the cassis, black olive and dried bay leaf only could only come from cabernet.
97 points - Ray Jordan. Power and structure, with poise and refinement. This is serious stuff
