2019 Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon, Houghton

2019 Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon, Houghton

Frankland River, Great Southern, Australia

Iron Crown

This is one of Western Australia’s great Cabernet icons, made with the depth, polish and quiet authority that the Jack Mann name deserves. From Frankland River, it opens with blackcurrant, cassis, ripe plum and black olive, then moves into violet, tobacco, mint, dark chocolate, cedar, graphite and a savoury edge of dried herbs.

The palate is powerful but composed, with dense black fruit, firm fine-grained tannins and a long, structured finish. There is richness, but also control: Cabernet muscle shaped by Frankland River freshness, ironstone depth and careful oak. It is serious, ageworthy and already deeply impressive, though a decant will help unlock its darker fruit, spice and mineral detail.

For when you want Australian Cabernet with stature, depth and cellar-door gravitas.
Pairs with roast beef, lamb rack, venison, ribeye steak, slow-cooked short rib, mushroom Wellington, aged cheddar, or hard sheep’s cheese.
If this wine were… a landmark, it would be a weathered ironstone tower on a hill, built to last.

Houghton is one of Western Australia’s most historic wine names, with more than 180 years of winemaking heritage and a reputation built on classic regional wines of clarity, structure and longevity. Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon sits at the top of that story, named in honour of the legendary Houghton winemaker who completed 51 consecutive vintages and became one of the defining figures of Western Australian wine. The wine was first named for him in 1994 and remains Houghton’s great Cabernet statement, sourced from Frankland River and made to show intensity, elegance, regional character and serious ageing potential.

Houghton is one of Western Australia’s most historic and important wine names, founded in 1836 and closely tied to the development of the state’s modern wine identity. For generations, the estate has helped define what Western Australian wine can be: elegant, structured, long-lived and deeply expressive of place.

The Houghton story is inseparable from Jack Mann, one of the great figures of Australian wine. Mann joined Houghton in 1922, later became chief winemaker, and completed 51 consecutive vintages with the estate. In 1937, he created Houghton White Burgundy, now known as White Classic, a wine that became a national icon and helped bring Western Australian wine to a much wider audience.

Today, Jack Mann Cabernet Sauvignon carries that legacy at the top of the Houghton range. Sourced from Frankland River, it is a powerful but refined expression of Western Australian Cabernet, built around black fruit, graphite-like tannins, freshness and serious ageing potential. Named in honour of the man who shaped Houghton’s reputation, it stands as the estate’s flagship red and a fitting tribute to one of Australia’s true wine legends.
