"92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.9% Petit Verdot, 2.5% Malbec and 1.6% Cabernet Franc, 50% new oak, and 100% Mark Messenger in style. From a single vineyard, planted in 1973.
It’s cooler, tighter, and more controlled than some recent vintages, and none the worse for it. Dense wine of traction and intensity, dark cherry, blackcurrant, aniseed, seaweed, dark chocolate, dried herbs, and baking spices. It’s fresh, almost chalky tannin of wide grain and grip, fruit sweetness with tobacco savoury things happening. Finish is long, tannic and firm. It has energy and concentration. Cellaring potential is high." 96 Points - The Wine Front - Gary Walsh

This estate block was planted in '73. The wine includes 5.5% petit verdot, 3.5% malbec and 3% merlot, all hand-picked, up to 36 days on skins, matured for 18 months in French barriques (50% new). An utterly exceptional cabernet, as intense as it is elegant with great mouthfeel ex superfine tannins. It's the lightness and brightness that are the candles on the cake.

Producers notes
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 (along with Vasse Felix, Cape Mentelle, Cullen, Moss Wood and Woodlands); by contrast, today the region boasts in excess of 200 vineyards. No sub-region has been historically more important to the success of Margaret River than Wilyabrup, where the first vineyards were planted and wineries built and which continues to be home to a disproportionately large number of famous, usually small, vineyards.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
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.
Control of the winemaking process is critical in making premium wine, and Juniper has a state of the art winery and a temperature controlled barrel room built in 1999. The winery, with modern refrigeration and storage equipment, ensures optimum treatment of our fruit. We process in small batches which are treated separately, evaluated and blended – a truly boutique operation.
Our wines are made in the Margaret River style of depth and elegance, with careful use of oak providing added complexity.
