2021 Houghton Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon

• Region: Frankland River
• Net volume: 750ml

The 2021 Jack Mann is a dark purple with a bright scarlet hue. The bouquet is dense with concentrated dark forest fruits, black olives, blackberry and dark chocolate characters with a subtle overlay of dried herbs – bay leaf, tobacco and wild mint. High quality French oak completes the picture. The palate is full rich, and sumptuously layered wine with intensity, power and presence. The dense, firm, fine grained tannin is beautifully integrated with the fruit and oak providing a seamless palate. A wine of exceptional concentration and length. Outstanding intensity, structure and balance will ensure a long cellaring life. A wonderful concentrated expression of Cabernet.

Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon is a single vineyard wine
from the Justin Vineyard in the Frankland River region of
Western Australia. This region is characterized by cool
winters, warm summer days and cool summer nights. The
soils at Frankland River are degraded granite gravels that
are some of the oldest in the world. The Cabernet grapes for
this wine are hand harvested from a small patch of 46-yearold vines. The particular clone of Cabernet Sauvignon is an
original Houghton clone selected by Jack Mann.

2021 VINTAGE
The winter of 2020 was reported as being one of the driest and
hottest on record across the South West of Western Australia. This
was followed by a warmer than average spring with close to
average rainfall figures. Both temperatures and rainfall were above
average for the Summer of 2020-21. Rainfall was above average for
the west coast of Western Australia due to several well formed
tropical lows producing widespread moderate to heavy rainfall
along their passage. These conditions meant that the 2021 vintage
kept our viticulturists and winemakers on their toes. Fortunately,
the Frankland River region only received modest rainfall totals and
both the Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec were able to reach full
ripeness. As a result, the Cabernet Sauvignon was more taut and
linear in structure and has been perfectly balanced by the natural
fruit sweetness of the Malbec component
