FEATURES
The 2019 Cloudburst Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaret River, Australia, is described as a warm and characterful release with the estate's hallmark precision. Cloudburst is the project of American-born Will Berliner, a self-taught winemaker and biodynamic farmer who established his Margaret River estate, with his first vines planted in 2005 and 2006. The estate is farmed using strict biodynamic principles on land in the Wilyabrup sub-region that has never been exposed to chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. The 2019 vintage occupies a transitional moment in the estate's history as the vines approached their mid-teens, with many observers noting a deepening of complexity and site expression. This Cabernet Sauvignon has attracted consistent scores of 95 points or above from leading critics since the 2015 vintage. It displays a deep, intense red color. On the nose, it offers complex aromas of cassis, dark cherry, dried herbs, tobacco, graphite, and a distinctive mineral freshness, along with hints of roses, kirsch, cumin seed, pencil lead, and violets. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant with fine-grained, super plush tannins, vibrant acidity, and a very long, pure finish of remarkable persistence. It's noted for its clarity, nuance, and silky tannins, with blue fruits dominating over darker cassis, adding freshness. 【Cult status and distribution via Place de Bordeaux】.
