About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonCoonawarra, AustraliaMedium crimson with a crimson hue. Displaying true Coonawarra aromatics of ozone, violet and a lovely fresh burst of blueberries and choc mint. The palate is restrained yet complex. Whilst the wine is youthful and structural, there is blueberry, violet and chocolate with lovely fruit flavour and very fine tannins, giving the drinker an insight to the ageability of this wine. With decanting in its youth it is enjoyable as an elegant fullbodied red wine.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

This release is strictly well structured and has ample fruit to match. It's a gorgeous match of region and variety. A flood of blackcurrant and mint meets slinky French oak, all drawn tight by quality, fine-grained tannin.

A show-and-tell-tour of Yalumba''s fanatical vineyard monitoring and testing regime last week explained this wine''s ascension to the gods in 2007. A remarkable result for a tough drought year, it sings with fresh, focused red- and blackcurrants, cigar box and textural tannin finesse.
