Henschke Cyril 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blends Cabernet’s structure with Shiraz’s depth for a balanced, age-worthy red. Deep ruby with a lifted nose of cassis, blackberry, and violet, backed by cedar and spice. On the palate, dark fruit, graphite, and subtle oak lead to firm, integrated tannins and bright acidity that carry a long finish. An adaptable wine for grilled beef, lamb, mushrooms, or aged cheese; rewards careful decanting and cellar aging.
