Joseph River Estate 2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

The Joseph River Estate label is best known for its award-winning 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, winner of the highly regarded Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy.
Grown in the Margaret River wine region, the Joseph River Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon speaks true to the region’s reputation of producing world class Cabernets, rivalling with the best of Bordeaux.
