Fermoy Estate FE Red 2023, from Margaret River in Western Australia, is an approachable, easy-drinking red blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (48%) and Shiraz (40%) with smaller portions of Tempranillo and Touriga Nacional. It is plush and rich on the palate with upfront plum and cassis fruit overlaid by savory herbs and a hint of menthol. The texture is spicy with firm, pomace-like tannins, balanced acidity, and a full body. It scored 90 points from Halliday Wine Companion and is ready to drink now but can gain from short-term cellaring.
