2024 Circa 77 Cabernet Sauvignon
The generous palate is packed full of juicy fruits of the forest, cassis and red currant characters. Medium to full-bodied, the fleshy fruits are supported by moreish, supple and ripe tannins. A balanced wine, with a persistent fruit finish with beautiful regional savoury inflections of bay leaf, black olive and liquorice and subtle oak influences.

Vintage:2024
Region:Margaret River
Conditions:The season began with a mild winter and early spring warmth, leading to budburst nearly two weeks ahead of average. A hot, dry summer followed, with no significant rainfall from October through harvest. The abundant Marri blossom kept bird pressure low, and picking commenced on 19th January— almost three weeks early. 2024 will be remembered as a powerful, early vintage in Margaret River.
