Margaret River cabernet from Deep Woods wins Australia’s most sought-after wine award

Western Australia continues to dominate 2016’s major national wine shows after a Margaret River winery won Australia’s most sought-after wine trophy on Thursday night. The 2014 Deep Woods reserve cabernet sauvignon won the coveted Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, awarded to the best young dry red (one or two years old) at the Melbourne Wine Show. Some of Australia’s most famous wines, including Penfolds Grange, have won the Jimmy Watson since it was first awarded in 1962, when the owner of one of Melbourne’s most famous wine bars died suddenly and his friends established the trophy in his memory.
