Taylors Jaraman Clare Valley/Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

A wine that takes the best from both regions, Clare and Coonawarra, and which has already made a real impression on the show circuit, with an impressive seventeen gold medals. The blend is 51% Clare Valley and 49% Coonawarra. Maturation was for fourteen months in French oak barrels, with 10% of them new. A vibrant purple hue, the nose offers notes of cassis, choc/cherry, mulberries, plums, deftly handled oak and a whiff of mint. This is finely balanced with very good length, a firm finish but sleek, very fine tannins. An attractive style which will improve further over the next ten to twelve years.
