Flametree S.R.S. Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon

The fifth great Margaret River vintage in succession, time may prove 2011 to be the fairest cabernet season of all. It’s wines like this that will set it apart for decades to come. At half the price of some Wilyabrup flagships, this is a standout that underscores impeccable violet lift and deep blackcurrant and cassis fruit with classy, cedary dark chocolate French oak. Body and concentration meet streamlined refinement, wonderful texture and the inimitable, signature gravel structure that defines Margaret River. Just 250 dozen. $46 at Wine House
