Gruyere, Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc, Petit Verdot. 12.5%. Diam. Approx $A55.Lovely, though somewhat atypical. Dusty eucalyptus and mint along with a notably savoury element and bright raspberries on the nose and in the mouth. Lighter and seemingly more acidic than most, but still with fine meaty and chewy tannins, which seem to suggest stems and pips. 92. Now - 2017.

Well Said; I believe this wine to be textural, yet Savory, a combo of herbs vs. fruit, acid vs. Tannin and just all round Yum! A Cabernet blend from the Yarra with integrity...Finally!
Vincent,
Of course it is a cliche, but this was very much better the following day. A lovely wine, which is all the more pleasing for its modest proportions.
