The 2023 Forest Hill Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined cool-climate Cabernet from Mount Barker in Western Australia’s Great Southern, showcasing elegance, structure and regional purity. The nose shows blackcurrant, dark cherry and cassis, layered with bay leaf, dried herbs, cedar and subtle spice, delivering a classic and lifted Cabernet profile.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, structured tannins and a polished, seamless texture. Dark fruit, savoury earth and gentle oak integration are supported by fresh acidity, leading to a long, balanced and mineral-driven finish. The style is sleek and restrained, combining fruit clarity with herbal complexity in a more classic, terroir-driven expression.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a premium cool-climate Cabernet that we position as an excellent value alternative to Margaret River or Bordeaux styles. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy structured, elegant Cabernet with freshness and savoury complexity rather than heavy richness. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 10–15+ years. Perfect with steak, lamb or slow-cooked beef dishes.
