Yarra Yering 2011 Dry Red No.1
- Yarra Yering
- Yarra Valley
- Cabernet Blend
- 2011
63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Malbec, 16% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot
The aroma is restrained and elegant displaying signature blackberry, aniseed, sarsaparilla, marzipan and cassis with hints of bergamot and varietal herbal tones.
A medium-bodied “classic” claret style featuring a refined, fruit-layered palate. Juicy acidity, characteristic of the vineyard, underlays soft fruit and fine dusty tannins. In true Yarra Yering tradition, it combines power with poise, concentration with finesse.
The winemaker, Sarah Crowe, is the James Halliday Wine Companion Winemaker of the Year 2017.
