Cabernet Sauvignon 73%, Merlot 16%, Cabernet Franc 8.5%, Petit Verdot 2.5%./n Vibrant purple red in colour, this wine shows bright aromatic fruit characteristics of raspberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, mulberry, red and black cherry along with cassis, chocolate, vanilla bean and hint of dried herbs. The palate is smooth and juicy with red and black currants, plum, red and black cherry flavours while balanced finegrained tannins provide a long and even structure.
Juniper Estate is a producer of premium wines in Wilyabrup, the heart of the remote, environmentally pristine Margaret River winegrowing area lying in the south west corner of Australia about 270km south of the state capital, Perth. When the vineyard was planted in 1973 (under its original guise of Wright's), it was one of only six Margaret River wine producers. Juniper was established by the late Roger Hill and his wife Gillian Anderson with the intention of producing wines which rank among the best to come from Wilyabrup and beyond. Wilyabrup has established itself since the late 1960s as the most successful sub-region of Margaret River, particularly for red wines; our reds are true to the style of the region, with minimal influence from the winery, and are further testament to Wilyabrup's proven ability to produce wines of the highest quality.
