2018 Rochford Isabella's Cabernet Sauvignon

From a vineyard closing in on 50 years of age, this Yarra Cabernet is concentrated yet lithe, with so much going on within its medium-bodied frame.

Text-book Cabernet profile - blue-fruits, florals, olive brine, and the driving black currant, cassis character that defines this grape. Quite juicy on the palate, with those brambly fruits driving the wine along, with some more savoury licorice and herbal notes as well.

Great acid, and gravelly tannin frame the wine so nicely. If there was a dictionary of wine, and you were looking for classy Yarra Cabernet, its likely you’d see a picture of this.
