Long Gully Estate Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

From the Yarra Valley, this is an impressive Cabernet. Dark magenta in colour, the nose offers classic cigar box notes, black fruits, mocha, coffee beans and tobacco leaves. It is both concentrated, and elegant, and walks that tightrope with ease. Balanced, good acidity, appealing freshness and serious length. This appeals now but has real potential to impress further over the next decade. The only criticism is that it is a fraction too young at the moment. A wine which reminds us that Cabernet was really the first red varietal to star in the Valley.
