Description Enjoy this “Highly expressive statement of Margaret River Cabernet. 91pts”. (Ray Jordan) from Nannup Ridge of WA's remote Blackwood Valley. Ray goes on to praise the wine's: "firm structure with deep fruit and firm tannins supported by a decent cloak of oak. Graphite and bay leaf aromas merge neatly with the blackcurrant plummy dark fruit characters. It is balanced and well integrated. 91pts” Nannup Ridge is owned by the grape growers, the Fitzgerald brothers, whose “successful wines” are “ skilfully contract-made by celebrated winemaker Bruce Dukes. Terrific value is par for the course”. “Much like its neighbouring region of the Margaret River, Blackwood Valley shares a winning streak for its successful wineries and quality grapes.. The valley is also one of the most isolated wine regions in the world" (Halliday) . Surrounded on three sides by the more well-known WA regions of Pemberton, Geographe and Great Southern, it's no wonder the Blackwood Valley is sometimes overlooked - but therein lies the secret to its fantastic value, excellent quality wines.
