Simpson Estate Jenny Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Hard to imagine Margaret River Cabernet getting much better than this. Crafted by Fraser Gallop and ex-Vasse Felix winemaker Clive Otto, from a single-vineyard site in Yallingup, it’s balanced, and in drinking harmony with 7 years of bottle age.

Tasting Notes

A mid to dark mulberry colour with crimson hues. The nose exhibits a perfume of bay leaf, blueberries, dried sage, earth and dark chocolate. This wine is medium-bodied and elegantly sculptured with fresh acidity, rolling tannins and flavours of raspberries and blueberries, with a twinge of herbs on the finish. A wine that will cellar well for up to 15 years from bottling.

Product Highlights

This is Margaret River Cabernet with serious pedigree behind it.

Simpson Estate may not be a household name yet, but the winemaker certainly is. Clive Otto spent sixteen years at Vasse Felix, helping shape the legendary 2001 Heytesbury Cabernet before being named Australian Winemaker of the Year in 2005. He later went on to craft Bordeaux blends at Fraser Gallop that twice won Decanter’s International Trophy for Best Bordeaux Blend.

So yes, he knows his way around Cabernet.

The fruit comes from a prime Margaret River vineyard, close enough to the Indian Ocean to enjoy the long, even ripening Cabernet loves. It is the same kind of maritime influence that made Bordeaux famous, only with Margaret River’s unmistakable stamp.

Every parcel is hand-picked, carefully sorted, then matured for at least eighteen months in premium French oak, with around forty per cent new oak. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the way, supported by Merlot and Malbec for depth, polish and structure.

This is a polished, serious Margaret River Cabernet from a winemaker with a world-class track record. No shortcuts, no fuss - just very good Cabernet at a very sharp price.

Overall rating: 4.0 / 5 from 4 reviews.

Reviews

Nice easy drinker - lacks some regional character

"Nice drop, good price at $23. 50 a bottle but fairly light medium body and not a lot of regional character . Nice bit of bottle age, still plenty of fruit flavour, certainly on the red berry side"

— Stuart F. (4/5)

Simpson Estate Jenny Cab Sauv 2019

"Nice wine but needs at least a couple more years to reflect its true flavour and texture. Rest of the case has been put in the cellar to give it those years."

— Tim W. (4/5)

A Good Cab Sav!

"I've enjoyed one bottle of this wine, very intense berry flavours - will be better after a few years in the cellar."

— Mark C. (4/5)
