Juniper Estate Crossing Original Red 2022 is a beautifully crafted Bordeaux-inspired blend from Margaret River, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot in smaller proportions. The wine shows a bright crimson purple colour and exudes clean, fragrant aromas with intense black fruits, bay leaf, and a subtle hint of violets.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, washed with juicy blackcurrant pastille and dark fruit characters. Balanced acidity and ripe, fine tannins lead to a persistent and satisfying finish. This wine is best enjoyed over the next five to eight years and pairs excellently with slow-cooked lamb or stuffed mushrooms. Its smooth, fruit-driven character makes for an effortless drinking experience at a great value point.
