Yarra Yering Dry Red No 1

The palate is elegant, structured, and quietly powerful, opening with blackcurrant, red cherry, and mulberry before a fine line of graphite and cedar brings classic Cabernet detail. Acidity is bright and perfectly tuned, giving the wine a long, focused drive, while tannins are fine, powdery, and confidently shaped, offering structure without heaviness. The mid‑palate is supple yet firm‑lined, showing hints of bay leaf, tobacco leaf, and cool dark earth. The finish is long, savoury, and mineral‑edged, leaving cassis, dried herb, and a faint cocoa‑dust echo.
