Ringbolt 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Price $17

This is a fairly full-bodied Cabernet that manages to be intense without being overbearing, balancing cassis and tobacco shadings with a hint of tomato leaf. The tannins are supple enough to make it approachable now. Ringbolt is the Margaret River outpost of the Yalumba group of wineries. — J.C. (7/1/2011)

Ringbolt 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Best Buy

Price $14

The first of Yalumba’s forays into Western Australia, the Cab fruit is from a 27-year-old vineyard. It’s high quality, particularly for the price, and full and lively in the mouth. Bright blackberry and plum fruit gets a dose of eucalyptus and black pepper on the palate; finishes up with bright plum fruit. — D.T. (2/1/2004)

Ringbolt 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Price $15

Smells meaty, with a streak of eucalyptus. Taut, cool black-plum fruit warms the palate, where there’s also a substantial amount of oak. Very good—it’s nice to find hallmarks of the region for a reasonable price. Imported by Negociants USA, Inc. — D.T. (5/1/2005)

Ringbolt 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Price $17

From Robert Hill Smith's (Yalumba) western outpost, this is a medium-bodied, crisp Cabernet with leafy, tea-like notes, decent cassis fruit and a touch of chocolate. Finishes tart and slightly dusty, but probably not for long cellaring; drink now-2015. — J.C. (11/1/2009)
