Fraser Gallop Innovation Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 from Margaret River is a bold yet finely balanced cabernet, roaring with dark fruit power while still showing that classic Fraser Gallop polish and harmony. It feels very much like a “serious but great‑value” estate red – concentrated, structured and built to age without losing drinkability.

The nose is rich and aromatic, with blackberry, cassis and fresh plum backed by dark chocolate, dusty cocoa, black liquorice and a little graphite‑spice complexity. On the palate it sits mid‑weight but intense, packed with fresh plums and blackberries, dark chocolate and cocoa, layering in spice and liquorice over firm, velvety tannins and fine acidity that carry a long, satisfying finish. It’s a cabernet of harmony rather than brute force, and should comfortably cellar towards 2032.

This Innovation Cabernet Sauvignon is made for ribeye, slow‑roast beef brisket or char‑grilled kangaroo, and it absolutely elevates braised oxtail, mushroom Wellington or aged cheddar and gouda. It’s the kind of Margaret River cabernet you open for a serious roast or steak night when you want estate pedigree and structure without paying Palladian‑level prices.
