Larry Cherubino’s 2022 Pedestal Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vineyards in northern Margaret River, Western Australia. Classic blackcurrant fruit, savoury bay leaf and supple tannins make this an inviting Cabernet to enjoy now.
- Aromas: Blackcurrant and mulberry with hints of bay leaf and cedar.
- Palate: Juicy blackcurrant carries through to a long finish, with savoury bay leaf and touches of cedar and dark chocolate.
- Style: Dry, medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with fine, velvety tannins.
- Winemaking: Hand-picked fruit was fermented in stainless steel with three weeks of gentle maceration. The wine spent 10 months in a mix of new and one- to two-year-old French oak barrels before blending and bottling.
- Cellaring: Enjoy now through 2030. Store in a cool, dark location.
- Food Pairing: Braised lamb shanks, rosemary roast lamb or grilled portobello mushrooms.
