It's a cedary, tobaccoey cabernet with notes of earth and gravel and pencil. It's ripe and curranty but not overly so, finely structured, elegant and yet powerful. I kept trying to pick a hole in it but I couldn't. In the end I screwed the top back on and packed the bottle for dinner. A genuine compliment. The wine is a winner.

Rob Mann visited for lunch this week, then drove to Sydney under an ash cloud! His work in the vineyard and winery has elevated Cape Mentelle to the top echelon of Margaret River and, my goodness, does it show in his definitively structured 08 and 09 reds.

I see this is available around the traps for $20, which makes it superb value, hence the Top Value tag. Redcurrant, mulberry and plum with an aromatic regional dried herb perfume providing contrast to its warm chocolate and vanilla tones. It's beautifully made, svelte and balanced, clearly defined and fitted out with the finest smooth powdery tannin. No complaints to be had of the length either. I'm giving it a bonus point for X-Factor. Thoroughly charming

Stylish and modern...its smooth and polished palate of pristine ripe fruit, chocolate/cedar oak and fine, drying tannins finishes with a pleasing core of flavour...
