2020 Perseverance Cabernet Merlot

When you think of great Cabernet, Margaret River certainly ranks amongst the finest regions in the world to produce this noble varietal. There’s no more highly awarded wine in our range than our Perseverance Cabernet Merlot.  Our 2019 release  received a Gold Medal at the 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards. At the 2018 Decanter World Wine Awards the 2014 vintage received a ‘Best in Show’ award and this exceptional wine has received many accolades from wine critics for previous vintages and continues to receive great praise each year.

'Cracking good wine from this superb red wine vintage. One of the smoothest and most elegantly refined reds yet from Brown Hill. In fact, it's part of the evolution of the Brown Hill style. Plum, chocolate and a little blueberry and blackcurrant push out from the palate. The oak is perfectly integrated while the tannins are precisely infused.'  96 points Ray Jordan 2024 WA Wine Review
