But before you dive into the exhaustive list of Australia's best cabernet sauvignon wines, you can get to know the current winner of our Cabernet Sauvignon of the Year award – the 2023 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Xanadu Wines – which also won Red Wine of the Year.

"Western Australia was well represented, accounting for just over a 3rd of the bracket at the Awards judging, with Margaret River icon Xanadu ultimately taking the win. A truly remarkable wine, articulated well by Jane Faulker: ‘The palate comes coated in such perfectly shaped fine tannins, the finish is persistent, and flavours linger. A glorious cabernet. Bravo.’" – Katrina Butler
