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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"413\" data-end=\"786\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"788\" data-end=\"1123\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"788\" data-end=\"800\"\u003eFor when\u003c\/strong\u003e you want Australian Cabernet with stature, depth and cellar-door gravitas.\u003cbr data-start=\"875\" data-end=\"878\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"892\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/strong\u003e roast beef, lamb rack, venison, ribeye steak, slow-cooked short rib, mushroom Wellington, aged cheddar, or hard sheep’s cheese.\u003cbr data-start=\"1020\" data-end=\"1023\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1045\"\u003eIf this wine were…\u003c\/strong\u003e a landmark, it would be a weathered ironstone tower on a hill, built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1125\" data-end=\"1784\"\u003eHoughton 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55704983273857,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2019JackMannCabernetSauvignon_Houghton.png?v=1779278168","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2019-jack-mann-cabernet-sauvignon-houghton","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
