The 2022 Deep Woods Single Vineyard Cabernet Malbec is a powerful yet refined Margaret River red blend that showcases the strength of two classic Bordeaux varieties grown in one carefully selected vineyard site. Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure, depth and longevity, while Malbec contributes richness, colour and plush fruit character. The nose is complex and expressive, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum layered with notes of violet, cedar, graphite and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with finely structured tannins and vibrant acidity that bring balance and precision. Flavours of cassis, black cherry and ripe dark berries are complemented by hints of cocoa, dried herbs and well-integrated oak. The Malbec adds generosity and texture to the mid-palate, while the Cabernet Sauvignon drives the wine’s length and structure. The finish is long, polished and persistent, with lingering dark fruit and savoury complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers who enjoy premium Margaret River reds with both power and elegance. Its combination of concentrated fruit, refined tannins and regional character makes it a superb match for grilled rib-eye steak, roast lamb, beef short ribs and aged hard cheeses. Drinking beautifully with decanting now, it also has the structure and balance to develop further complexity over the next 8–12 years.
