About the wine
hallmarks of a very expensive Cabernet
- Western Australia’s Coby Ladwig’s first-up Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Barker shows all the hallmarks of a very expensive Cabernet.
- Coby has thrown everything he can at this wine to make it the very best he can. After your first sip you’ll see the typical W.A. elegance and finesse all with brilliant varietal structure - while also being very generous across the palate.
- From the crack of the lid, this medium bodied red is balanced to perfection with dark berries and an oaky spiciness and then your mouth fills with this abundant richness. You will see why similar wines would sell for over $40 a bottle!
Best before
Being Cabernet it does have a lovely structure tucked behind the fruit so it would age very nicely but it is hard to go past the drinkability right now. If you can avoid the temptation and put a few bottles down it would certainly handle 10 years but I am a big fan of the motto - "drink now"
Serving advice
Try to leave it 4-5 days after it lands on your door step. Wines like to have a little rest after being driven around the country side. Crack the bottle and give it an hour before drinking. If you have the patience see how the wine evolves after a couple of hours sitting in the glass. The fruit will mellow a little and you should see the dusty fine tannins making more of an appearance.
Food match
I am a meat eater. So without a doubt a rack of lamb would be sensational. The Cabernet structure will cut through the fat of the lamb. But if you are a little more daring try pairing it with some dark (65% or more) chocolate. You will be really surprised as to how well the cabernet complements dark chocolate.

Meet the winemaker - Coby Ladwig
Brought up in the southern wilds of Western Australia, Coby spent endless hours amongst the vineyards where his Mum worked. It was no surprise he was headed for the winemaking life! With a degree under his belt, he returned to his hometown “to seek out the very best, small sub-region sites to make exceptional single-vineyard wines that can compete with the best in the world.”
Over the next sixteen years, he used his silky winemaking skills to help the stunning West Cape Howe, Singlefile and Rockcliffe wineries earn 5-Star ratings from wine critics far and wide. And in 2017, he earned a Top 50 spot on the highly regarded Young Gun of Wine list.
- In 2018, thanks to the support of Angels, Coby became a liberated Naked winemaker with the freedom to handcraft small-volume boutique wines, just for you. And the same remains true today, “We always want to over deliver. It’s really exciting to be part of the Naked wines community,” he says with pride!
