HOUGHTON CW Ferguson Cabernet Malbec 2016 Cabernet Malbec Great Southern Estimate Per Bottle: 45-50
DELICIOUS - JH97 - C.W. Ferguson was winemaker at Houghton from 1863-1911, and employed George Mann, father of Jack Mann, the latter legendary for his long tenure at Houghton. This is a delicious wine, the firm power of the cabernet augmented by the rich compote of plum ex the malbec. It's a style (and quality) Jack Mann would have approved of. Two Gold Medals

HOUGHTON Gladstones Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River Estimate Per Bottle: 90-100
POWERHOUSE - JH96 - A veritable powerhouse, as the wine usually is. This is deadly serious cabernet sauvignon, like a knight in full-body armour. Inside there is a wealth of blackcurrant/ blackberry fruit, and tannins as a second line of defence. When and how to attack is the question.Two Trophies and Four Gold Medals
