Dappled Tradition Cabernets 2023
Made from the Steels Creek Vineyard and grown by Simon Peirce, this vineyard was planted in 1981 and produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The blend is 68% Cab Sav and 32% Cab Franc with 20% whole bunches included in the ferment. and fermented with wild yeast and had 18 months in old French oak barriques.
This is essentially a field blend with the Cabernet cropping a bit lower this year, so the Franc percentage is up. In cool years like 23, the Cabernet blends have hauntingly fragrant aromas. Violet floras, raspberry, cassis and pencil shavings. This shows none of the green characters you may expect from a cool year, but instead more delicate pretty fruits. The palate is fine but flavoursome with lovely finesse and drive. Classic Yarra Cab! This will Cellar very well.
"A medium, bright crimson. Dark cherry and blackberry fruit aromas intermingle with a little cedar, oyster shell and some whole-bunch derived floral notes. The medium-bodied palate is energetic and bright with quite chewy, long-chained tannins that bode well for the future."
