Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Risky Business is a Margaret River producer built on the principle of pushing conventional boundaries in one of Australia's most established wine regions. This Cabernet Sauvignon originates from Margaret River's gravelly, iron-rich soils in the southwestern corner of Western Australia, where the Indian Ocean moderates temperatures and extends the growing season, allowing Cabernet to achieve full phenolic ripeness.

The wine is crafted with attention to extraction and oak integration—typical of the region's fuller-bodied Cabernet expressions. Margaret River's maritime climate and well-drained soils produce wines with dark berry concentration and structured tannins that reward cellaring. The specific vineyard site benefits from the region's consistent, cool-to-warm diurnal temperature swing, which builds both flavor intensity and acidity retention.

This expression reflects the producer's philosophy: uncompromising fruit quality and willingness to age wine longer in barrel than some peers, resulting in integrated oak and developed secondary complexity. The 2021 and subsequent vintages show the house style—ripe cassis and plum with graphite minerality and firm, fine-grained tannin structure typical of Margaret River's best Cabernets.

Drink from release through 8–10 years, though well-stored bottles will continue to evolve.
