Flametree Embers Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Cliff Royle is one of WA’s most astute and intuitive winemakers, capturing the essence of Margaret River Cabernet even in his easy-drinking quaffer. Its primary, crunchy blackcurrants taste like cabernet straight out of the fermenter, speaking volumes of the juicy appeal of this warm vintage. Fine, rustic fruit tannins provide some structure to the finish, and will appreciate another six months to get comfortable. $15 at Kemeny’s.
