Schoolhouse Block C1 Coonawarra Cabernet 2021

Coonawarra Cabernet has long been one of the great wine styles of the world. Inky maroon in colour, the nose swirls around savoury, earthy notes with aniseed, chocolate, cloves, axle grease (in the most positive way), soy and black olives. The immediate impression is of a wine which is really intense, powerful but equally well balanced and with enticing silky tannins. The palate sees the emergence of coffee grinds and blackberries. There is very good length here with persistence that will handle eight to ten years in the cellar without a problem.
