Atticus Cabernet Sauvignon has the sort of dark-fruited charm and polished structure that makes a Margaret River Cabernet so easy to back. The Atticus Cabernet Sauvignon opens with blackcurrant, plum and cassis, then moves into bay leaf, cedar and a touch of cocoa for a savoury, confident finish.

The palate is firm but generous, with ripe tannins giving the wine shape while the fruit stays plush and driven. There’s a nice line of freshness through the middle, which keeps it from feeling heavy, and that balance is what gives this red real appeal in the glass.

Serve it with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef or mushroom risotto, where the structure and savoury depth can really shine. It is the kind of Cabernet that feels classic, composed and easy to recommend, especially if you want something with a bit of presence and plenty of drinking pleasure.
