2015 Yeringberg Cabernets

A Superb Bordeaux styled blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec. Superb black as night colour with a deep bright dark red black tinged hue. Perfumed top notes of blackcurrant laced with bay leaf seamlessly integrate into vanillin cedar, hints of tobacco, mulberry and spice. Decorated with richness yet at the same time showing elegance and great poise the medium bodied palate is filled with generous blackcurrant and subtle liquorice flavours which overlap a back drop of delicate bay leaf infusions, spicy cedar, tobacco and faint earthy fresh herbs. Very polished, perfectly integrated tannins. Outstanding length concluding with a long blackcurrant, subtle liquorice, bay leaf, vanillin cedar, a touch of tobacco, spice and light earth. Will only get better with bottle age.
Cellar 10-15 years.
Alc. 14%

66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% cabernet franc, 8% merlot, 8% petit verdot, 5% Malbec. Up to three weeks on skins, 25% new oak, 18 months in barrel. 495 dozen made. Bottled in October 2016.
At the intersection of flavour and finesse, beauty is to be found. This is an elegant, fine-fingered wine with juicy boysenberry, ripe blackcurrant, bay leaf and clove notes shimmering throughout, whispers of creamy, resiny, cedarwood oak having just-enough influence without going too far. Tannin is ripe, fine-fingered, exquisite. If you look closely you see grass, dry tobacco and peppercorn notes. It’s quite a treat. Drink 2022-2031+
