Award-winning Watkins 2017 Heritage Series Cabernet Sauvignon has been featured as a must buy by The Australians, John Lehmann.
"Winemaker Sam Watkins has been in the game long enough to know that more than 90 per cent of wines are consumed within a couple of days of being purchased.
Which is why smart wineries try to release bigger styles of Australian reds, such as cabernet sauvignon and shiraz, several years after vintage to give them time to soften.
