Located in the heart of Western Australia’s renowned Margaret River wine region, the Pierro locality, owned and managed by Dr Mike Peterkin, has a viticultural pedigree second to none. Besides making award-winning Chardonnay of distinctive character, Mike also produced the first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend in Australia. The Pierro reds are now among the very best in the region.
Pierro Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2019
Such a stylish and elegant expression of the '19 vintage. The extra time in bottle has been so important for this vintage, as it has allowed the wine to really knit together and begin to release its riches. Gets a boost with the acidity of the petit verdot and the perfumes of the cab franc. Beautiful palate structure and texture with an effortlessly long and languid finish.

Pierro Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2019
The Cabernet wines from Pierro, though identifiably from Margaret River, are much lighter and more graceful than many from the region, and maybe even have more in common with Cabernet from the Yarra Valley, in terms of weight and style. Just a thought.
Medium-bodied, all red fruits, with perfume and tasteful spiced biscuit and cedar oak. It’s gentle and refined, tannin sits neatly inside the wine, and they offer a baby finger grip if you swish the wine around your mouth a little. There’s some cocoa and bay leaf in the mix, cool acidity, and the finish is very long and composed. It’s a beautiful wine, understated in the best possible way, though if you’re expecting a lot of oomph for your $100, it perhaps won’t be to your liking.

Pierro Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2019
A bright ruby fading slightly at the rim. Blackberry, bresaola and dry herbs on the nose. Medium in body but carrying an impeccable core of concentrated and red fruits. The tannins and acidity bring a seamless structure to the palate, from them are hung notes of dry spices and meaty undertones. A wine of finesse and class that is easily enjoyed now but you will reap rewards with cellaring.

Pierro Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2019
A beautifully modulated wine highlighting the fineness and elegance of the Pierro style. Never showy or loud. They are distinctive. All the best regional and varietal components are neatly combined and flow across the just medium-bodied palate. It's fragrant, the tannins are fine yet shapely and the pomegranate-like acidity keeps the length going. Screw cap. 14% alc.
