{"product_id":"21-woodlands-cabernet-sauvignon-graham-12pk","title":"Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon 'Graham' 2021","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFounded in 1973 by David and Heather Watson, Woodlands was one of the first five vineyards planted in Margaret River. Now run by sons Stuart and Andrew, the ten-hectare certified-organic estate is still built around its original 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon plantings — and every vintage of the flagship Cabernet is named after a member of the Watson family, keeping the wine deeply personal, generation after generation. Each year the Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon is named after a family member or friend. The 2021 is named after Graham Watson, David's brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA more elegant, finer wine than the year before it. This is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend, with around 4% Malbec and a touch of Cabernet Franc. The challenge in this cooler year was striking the right balance between oak, fruit and supporting tannin — and it's been achieved here with real ease, resulting in a wine of great polish and poise. Floral and fragrant, with a delightful perfume, it shows bright red fruit and firm structure to see it through the years ahead, carried on a very long palate. Right now it's still relatively shy and reserved — but this is a wine that's only just beginning its journey, with many years still in front of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eVery deep crimson in colour, the nose shows an array of blue fruits, violet and tight-grain oak — classic Woodlands in character. The palate is cool, balanced and medium-bodied, with juicy blue fruit over blackcurrant and cedary oak, and nuances of lavender and dried herbs, finishing with soft, ripe tannins and fresh acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBest enjoyed from 2032.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45641263775813,"sku":"WES21CSGRM","price":290.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/woodlands-graham-2021-web.png?v=1788313567","url":"https:\/\/artisanwine.com.au\/products\/21-woodlands-cabernet-sauvignon-graham-12pk","provider":"Artisan Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
