Rob@Mr Barval: Cabernet Sauvignon from Wilyabrup and Wallcliffe sub-regions, plus luscious Malbec, old vine Merlot and intense Petit Verdot from Wilyabrup come together in this classic Bordeaux Blend. Production: 5543 bottles  

Tasting Notes

Full bodied with youthful acidity, the wine displays power and concentration yet with the unmistakable elegance and precision that defines our Mr Barval style. This wine will drink well immediately and will also reward careful cellaring for many years to come. 18 months in 20% new oak.

Plaudits

70/20/5/5% cabernet sauvignon/malbec/merlot/petit verdot. A neat combo here with a whorl of dark fruit – all cassis, mulberries and plums. They come spiced to the max with cedary oak in the mix and snips of fresh herbs. Fuller bodied, with really fine if shapely tannins and lively acidity ensuring a long finish. 95 Points. James Halliday.

Sully Says

Interesting combo from Rob. Hand-picked,, basket pressed. This delicious Cab Malbec is my go-to Margaret River wine.

About Winery

One of my favourites. In Margaret River’s south along Caves Road, not far from the towering Karri Forrest, and only kilometres to the sparkling ocean at Redgate Beach.
Rob Gerahadi honed his skills in Italy and has taken all his knowledge, condensed it into some finely tuned skill, and spun out some small quantity, high quality wine that you will want to get your hands on.
The philosophy here is a little different. It’s not so much about the single-vineyard of the site but accessing the quality fruit (so the chardonnay is from the Karridale region and the cabernet is from the WIlyabrup). You are essentially getting the best fruit to make the best wine from the best wine maker.
Everything about Mr Barval is quality. Their wines are made in small volumes and often sell out. It’s not wine you will see in many (or any) bottle shops.
