96 / 100"From vineyards in Wilyabrup, matured in French oak for 12 months. It ticks all the boxes with its cassis fruit on the one hand, firm cabernet tannins on the other providing all-up balance. Exceptional value for a wine with an extended drinking window of opportunity."

Tasting Notes
With the 96 point rating by James Halliday, the Pedestal Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 was recognised in the Wine Companion's "Top 100 wines of 2020". Larry Cherubino.
Larry Cherubino is no stranger to critical acclaim having been named "Best Value Winery" in Halliday's 2017 Wine Companion, and was named Winemaker of the Year back in 2011.
Despite those famous years for Cherubino he commented that he believes the 2018 vintage is the best he has ever seen in the Margaret River. Halliday stated this wine is "Exceptional value" which we think showcases just how strong this vintage, and how good this wine, really is.
