Critic reviews
James Halliday – "60/20/15/5% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/malbec/petit verdot. The cabernet fruit was destemmed and crushed, the other varieties kept as whole berries. Matured 15 months in French barrel (40% new). There is a coolness and restraint to the cassis fruit that builds, culminating in a long, chalky tannin finish. A complete and beautiful wine." 97pts - Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)
Huon Hooke – "Medium-deep red-purple colour, the bouquet toasty, smoky, cedary and dry-spiced, oak tinged. There is intense blackberry flavour backed by trim but firm tannins that provide elegance as well as structure. Refined texture and seamless line, the finish powering long and satisfying. There is richness and density too. A marvellous balancing act: it has a lightness of being at the same time as power and intensity. A superb wine with a big future." 97pts - Huon Hooke

Decanter Platinum Award
Cabernet Sauvignon 60% Merlot 20% Malbec 15% Petit Verdot 5%
Vines: The first plantings at Yarra Yering into block No. 1 were these Cabernet vines and the name was born. The Malbec was also part of the original 1969 plantings. Merlot vines were originally inter-planted with the Cabernet with subsequent plantings made in 1990 on the newly acquired neighbouring land along with the Petit Verdot.
Wine Making: All hand harvested and sent across a sorting table, only the very best berries go into this wine. The Cabernet fruit is individually berry sorted before being crushed to build structure through fermentation. Merlot, Malbec and Petit verdot are whole berry ferments for fragrance and palate flesh. All fermented in half-tonne fermenters and hand plunged twice daily, one third of the Cabernet spending extended time on skins for complexity and to build the savoury edge. Components kept separate in French oak barrels, 40% new until being blended just before bottling after 15 months barrel maturation.
Wine: The cool 2020 season presents as summer berry fruits with some bay leaf adding a background herbal lift. Mixed spice and a whisper of oak; all in balance. Beautiful fruit, a bright acid drive and tannins that form a solid foundation for a long future. Complex but not intimidating, always exciting to watch evolve.
