The 2024 Credaro Five Tales Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon that combines bright dark fruit with regional structure and savoury detail. Produced by Credaro Family Estate, the wine reflects the family’s long connection to Western Australia’s south-west and their focus on approachable yet regionally expressive wines. The nose is lifted and vibrant, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis alongside violet florals, cedar, dried herbs and subtle dark chocolate notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, chewy tannins and balanced acidity creating both structure and freshness. Flavours of ripe blackberry, dark plum and cherry are supported by savoury herb notes, gentle oak spice and subtle cedar complexity. The wine maintains the hallmark Margaret River Cabernet profile of dark fruit, herbal lift and polished tannin structure, while restrained oak influence keeps the palate smooth and approachable in its youth. The finish is persistent and balanced with lingering dark berry fruit and soft spice.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy approachable Margaret River reds with classic black fruit character, fine tannins and versatile food pairing appeal. Particularly well suited to grilled steaks, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef dishes or aged cheddar. Drinking beautifully now while its fruit remains vibrant, though the structure and acidity will allow further development over the next 5–8 years.
