Yalumba, The Cigar, Coonawarra, South Australia, 2010

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Leather arm chairs on nose, flavours of tiny little bilberries, deep intensity. Searching for more tannin, but good green capiscium in background and leafy finish, needs time.

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Medium-deep. High-toned, tutti-fruity nose, cherry. Sweet fruit, fleshy, very attractive easy palate, upfront, balanced and commercial.

Tasting: Coonawarra & Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

Moderate ruby in colour, with a pleasant cherry and rhubarby fragrance, quite attractive and accessible juicy red berry fruits tinged with herbal notes on the palate in a nicely balanced, well-made style; maybe just a tad four-square?
