Yeringberg Cabernet Blend 2021

Yeringberg Cabernet Blend 2021

(Cab Sauvignon 58%, Merlot 14%, Malbec 14%, Petit Verdot 9%, Cabernet Franc 5%)
The 2021 edition of our Bordeaux blend has just about everything in just the right measure - elegance, structure, depth, complexity – and most of all, it’s wine to be enjoyed, today, tomorrow and for as long as you might choose to keep a bottle. On the nose, cool, pure and inviting aromas of blackcurrant, violet, plum and black olive, merge with notes of tobacco leaf, cedar, mint and graphite. The palate, initially fine, savoury and restrained, builds depth and richness, with wonderfully fine but firm tannins, silky, supple generosity, and an understated power and breadth that all comes together on the effortless, but imposing finish. Drink now, and well into the future. – Sandra de Pury

A blend of 58/14/14/9/5% cabernet sauvignon/cabernet franc/merlot/petit verdot/malbec. Matured 20 months in French barriques (35% new). Bright crimson purple. From a great year, this is a beautifully fragrant and seductive Yeringberg with its aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, cherry blossom, violets and just the right amount of oak-derived cedar and pencil-shaving scents. The epitome of medium bodied, it's elegant, discreet and persistent on the palate, even at this early juncture. Equally important, the fruit is perfectly framed by the wine's fine-grained and silky tannins and, as has been demonstrated on many occasions, this will mature slowly and gracefully. 98 points - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
