“Maturation in French and American oak... an opaque wine, powerful and loaded with as much saturated dark fruit and coffee fl avours as it is brooding, finishing with dried tobacco and forceful, ferruginous tannins. There is nothing jammy about this. Palate-staining and brimming with personality. 95 points” (James Halliday).

Forester Estate is owned by Vignerons Kevin and Jenny McKay. It’s situated in Yallingup, in the northern Margaret River region. Kevin’s motto is to build complexity and texture into his wines literally from the ground up! The superb wines are made by Todd Payne who has had “a distinguished career, starting in the Great Southern, then the Napa, Plantagenet, Esk Valley in Hawke’s Bay, and on to the Northern Rhône” (Halliday). This is a beautifully expressive wine. Inky, rich and herbal Cabernet melds with plummy, velvety, mouthfilling Merlot to create a really layered and complex wine you want to keep on sipping.
