Yering Station Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A dollop of Merlot (2.5%) is included in this superb Yarra Cab, with ten months in 228 litre French oak barriques, 20% new. For anyone who has forgotten how good Yarra Cabernet can be, or never experienced it in the first place, don’t miss this. Dark magenta hue, the nose offers bay leaves, cassis, spices, chocolate, aniseed, black fruits and tobacco leaves. Fine tannins, impressive length and serious persistence, with graphite and blackberries emerging on the palate. This has a great future, at least ten to fifteen years.
