Stand aside nerds, there\u2019s a new kid on the Margaret River Cabernet block, and with her oenological charm, she seems destined to fit right in with the popular crowd.<\/p>\n
Devil\u2019s Lair have recently released a new \u201con premise\u201d Cabernet, the Dance with the Devil which sells at around $25 a bottle and is crafted to be partnered with food, rather than consumed in the comfort of your couch or in front of a winter fire.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s made in somewhat of a Bordeaux style and although the lifted and perfumed nose is perhaps more Aussie than French, it\u2019s entirely what you would expect of a fresh and vibrant Cabernet from the region. All the usual currant and dried cranberry flavours are there, right across the palate but with a remarkable depth of character. The Dance with the Devil shows some herbaceous, if not oriental, woody notes both on the palate and through the finish but in a supportive rather than overbearing way. It\u2019s not the type of wine you\u2019d lay down for long, but the absence of new oak, strong tannins or obvious acid make for a delightfully drinkable Cabernet that more than justifies its relatively modest price point.<\/p>\n
This fresh face of the Devil\u2019s Lair stable may have a risqu\u00e9 moniker, but she\u2019s always assured of being a welcome guest at my dinner table!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
