2012 Yalumba The Caley Cabernet Shiraz 750ml Gift box

Very deep, dense red. Showcasing bright, attractive floral notes, cherry, oyster shell, leafy stalks and redcurrant, all typical of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. A very defined and composed wine with engaging ripe fruits on the palate. Medium to full depth with a densely layered structure delivering a prominent yet silky tannin profile. Drinking Window: 2020-2045 Grapes sourced from Coonawarra and Barossa Critic tasting note: "The beautiful DNA of Cabernet makes itself felt in the wet stone and graphite scent that carries poised, dark fruit. Gentle smoke mingles with dark berry and comes with an edge of tobacco that seems to be the first stirring of evolution. The palate is taut and structured but amidst the welcome Cabernet rigour, the absolute juiciness and exuberance of the fruit is undeniable. Balance and harmony are writ large, a salty touch of soy informs the long finish." - 97/100, Falstaff
