{"product_id":"woodlands-cabernet-sauvignon-eleanor-2020","title":"Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon 'Eleanor' 2020","description":"\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFittingly, in the same year Woodlands marked 50 years since David and Heather Watson established the vineyard in 1973, this wine was awarded Wine of the Year — a fabulous expression of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon with more than a little Bordeaux influence running through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWinemaker Stuart Watson has turned out one outstanding Cabernet after another over the years, and this one stands with the very best of them — time may well judge it the finest yet. It comes from the oldest vines on the property, and it's a true reflection of both the season and the style Woodlands has spent decades refining: a super-concentrated, powerful core of fruit held in check by fine, firm tannins, tight-grain oak and a vibrant natural acidity. Blackcurrant, graphite and oyster shell lead the way, with a lovely lift of bay leaf on the nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach year the Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon is named after a family member or friend — the 2021 honours Graham Watson, David's brother. Very deep crimson in colour, with an array of blue fruits, violet and tight-grain oak on the nose — classic Woodlands in character. The palate is cool, balanced and medium-bodied, juicy blue fruit layered over blackcurrant and cedary oak, with nuances of lavender and dried herbs, finishing with soft, ripe tannins and fresh acidity. Best enjoyed from 2032.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45641263480901,"sku":"WES20CSEL","price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/woodlands-eleanor-2020-web.png?v=1788313924","url":"https:\/\/artisanwine.com.au\/products\/woodlands-cabernet-sauvignon-eleanor-2020","provider":"Artisan Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
