Yering Station Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep brick with bright red hues.
Nose: Red currant, tobacco leaf and cedar.
Palate: Palate begins quite fragrant with autumnal leaf, red currant fruits and stewed
rhubarb. Weight and generosity begin to build with a dense but fine, linear tannin
carrying the length as darker fruits and spices arrive with body and texture. The
wine grows into a powerful frame yet displays levity and grace. A stunning example
of how elegant Yarra Valley Cabernet can be.

Cellaring: Enjoy now or in ten years with patient cellaring.
