We love Yarra cabernet, and it appears we're not alone. This wine sits at the bigger end of Yarra styles, but has all the class and finesse, with big firm fruit and tannins to match. Blackcurrant and roasted coffee drive the core of the palate, with some savoury notes of bramble and blackcurrant leaf elevating the finer details of this exceptional drop. A lick of licorice, and delicate hints of crushed violet; this is a cab which is at once bold in its profile and fine with its tannins. Balanced, some may say. Crafted by an exceptional Halliday 5 star producer who knows the Yarra Valley hills back to front, this cabernet epitomises the region. This is a wine that is in its youth - not even a teenager - and will reward more time in bottle if you can be patient.
