Deep red to crimson in colour. The aromatics display baking spices, plum, licorice allsorts, and blackberries. There are nuances of sea spray and ozone, combined with a melange of dark berries. The palate is rich and supple with great depth. Dark fruits, such as blueberry, are complemented by a savoury mid palate, showing tapenade and dried herbs. There are lovely bitter chocolate tannins and the recognisable structure and architecture that Coonawarra Cabernet is famous for. The palate crosses the line between savoury and fruit sweetness beautifully and will be a lovely youthful wine as well as maturing into an elegant and structural older wine.

Product Notes

Yalumba The Cigar Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined red from South Australia’s well-renowned Coonawarra region. The wine offers a splendid bouquet evoking blackcurrant, cherry, and spicy oak aromas. Upon taste, one experiences tantalisingly rich flavours of dark fruits, chocolate, and earth imbued tones, underscored by a whiff of cigar box, hence its name. Its robust character showcases ripe tannins and an admirably long finish, making it an exquisite companion for hearty meat dishes. Yalumba's commitment to sustainable practices adds an ethical dimension to this enthralling offering, exuding a passion for exceptional viticulture and winemaking.
