2020 Fire Gully Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Margaret River, Western Australia
Tasting note
A leafy, delicate Cabernet Sauvignon, with very finely milled tannins and layers of red and purple fruit in the mouth. A cool mineral profile, and a gentle chalkiness on the middle palate highlight the fruit. Hints of coffee bean, mint and bay leaf add complex layers to this understated wine, which finishes with salinity and great elegance.
Our thoughts
The extraordinary Mike Peterkin, who founded Pierro in 1980, only gave up his doctor’s practice a few years ago, aged 72, and still lives overlooking the Fire Gully vineyard, which sits directly behind Moss Wood, and which he bought in 1988. From there comes this beautifully fresh and juicy Cabernet, made by the Pierro team at the Pierro winery. From the highly acclaimed 2020 vintage, the refined, silky tannins speak of its quality.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is lovely. It’s a leafy, chalky, delicate Cabernet Sauvignon, with very finely milled tannins and layers of red and purple fruit in the mouth. It’s hard to choose a favorite character of this wine (between the fruit and the tannins), however it is the tannins that bring it home for me in the end: the cool mineral outlay and the gently chalky grip through the middle palate highlights the fruit and makes this wine what it is. Superb.
