Willow Bridge Coat of Arms Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

93 POINTS

Ray Jordan

A stylish and most elegantly refined cabernet with a distinctive varietal expression of blackcurrant and leafy plum with a little olive tapenade. The palate is vibrant and bursting with high energy fruit with that blackcurrant character evident, plus a light leafy red berry lift. A thread of chalky tannin and a sliver of fine-grained oak add their considerable support,

Mike Bennie - Halliday Wine Companion

An elegant, well-balanced, medium-weight affair with distinct blue fruits, herbal lift, sea spray and light, chocolate powder tannins combining. There's a succulence here, a refreshment factor, a cool line and restraint. Underlying, savouriness of woody spice, turned earth and briny minerality. The finish a building, mouth-watering pucker. Spot on.

James Suckling

Dark chocolate, black plums, currants and smoked paprika on the nose, followed by a juicy, full-bodied and fruity palate framed by sleek tannins. Delicious now.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Coats of Arms Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the Geographe region, and the area generally produces a more plush, chocolaty style of Cabernet than regions further south of it, i.e., Margaret River and the Great Southern. The wines from this part of the world tend to be less expensive than the aforementioned and are known for their eminent approachability and deliciousness. Here, the wine leads with purple berries and milk chocolate, dried herbs and cedar spice. The granular tannins provide chew and texture, and the acid stays just shy of pert—a good thing. This is an attractive, balanced Cabernet from a warm, dry year. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
