This is an elegant yet powerful statement of Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It comes from two Coldstream vineyards in the heart of the valley and was then matured for 18 months in French oak. There’s a beautiful bright red berry, light cherry character on the nose with fragrant violets and cherry overtones. The colour is seamlessly integrated with fine chalky tannins and sleek oak integration, supporting the intense fruit concentration. It all delivers with refined elegance and extends to a very long finish. There’s some real cellaring potential here.
