A benchmark expression of Coonawarra Cabernet, this 2021 vintage showcases the region’s signature elegance, structure, and depth.
Tasting Notes:
Deep crimson in the glass, the nose opens with layers of cassis, black cherry, and crushed violets, intertwined with graphite, cedar, and a hint of dried herbs. The palate is richly textured yet refined, delivering ripe blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and subtle spice from well-integrated French oak. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity provide balance and length, leading to a long, structured finish with lingering notes of espresso and tobacco.
A wine built for cellaring, yet immensely enjoyable now with decanting. Perfect alongside slow-cooked lamb or aged cheddar.
