Yalumba have found such a wonderful sweet spot with this label, showing everything great about Coonawarra and the expressive Cabernet it can bring for a price that still doesn't seem real. Leading with ripe blackberries and black olives, it descends into some lovely waves of cassis, chocolate and that dry spicy bramble note that Coonawarra can carve out so beautifully. It strikes us as the perfect red to pair with a slow-cooked meat stews or dishes - Our Notes
"rich and dark fruited with blackberry and roasted plums, there’s a black olive note just before the spice and smoke of wood layers in. Dry on the palate with the impact of tannins and acidity biting first, these are contrasted by the fleshy core fruits. The wine has a bold muscley frame and fleshy chewy core. It’s balanced and well made with a decent finish." - 92 Points, Cameron Douglas MS
