Yaldara Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon
Australia
Dark as a bruise on a black cherry in the glass. Purple beyond the maroon and blood red of most Cab. Smells fruity with a hint of animal sweat, and a little tobacco. Flavor is intense, rounded and juicy. Bit of tart cherry syrup and blackberry custard. Little bit of light roast coffee. Plum pits. Tannins are there, but not a drying as they could be. Oolong over English breakfast. Hint of tea tree oil and menthol cough drops. Dark chocolate cherry cake finish. It’s a nice-drinking, well-rounded, New World Cab. The berry-licious core gives it bounce and brightness. Good on ya mate!
