Huon Hooke, Score: 98
Very bright, youthful, deep purple/red colour, and a lovely bouquet of blackberry and cassis, oak making a subtle contribution, the palate intense and powerful, full-bodied but not big or anywhere near a blockbuster, the tannins abundant and supple, fine-grained and persistent for the entire palate. An utterly gorgeous wine, cabernet characteristics well in evidence, but already complex, profound and multi-layered. Wonderful flavour and precision. Prodigious length, seamless harmony and great potential - although it's a great drink now.

James Halliday, Score: 96
55% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot, 12% malbec, 5% petit verdot. Essence of blackcurrant with a boysenberried freshness, almost into forest berry territory, with polished cedar wood oak and drifts of fragrant herbs. Pure, complete, svelte; all these words apply. Has a long run ahead of it.
Producer
Yarra Yering
One of Victoria’s oldest and most beautiful estates, Yarra Yering was recently crowned as the number one winery in all of Australia by Huon Hooke at The Real Review, Australia’s leading critic and wine publication. Changing tastes and a miserable economy had brought wine production in the Yarra Valley to an abrupt halt in the 1920s. It would need a pioneer to re-establish winemaking in the region and in 1969 one came along – Dr Bailey Carrodus. A trained botanist, Carrodus had a doctorate in plant physiology from Oxford and, with this specialist knowledge, he was able to bring Yarra Valley winemaking back to life. The late iconoclastic founder of the Yarra Yering winery, Carrodus was never one to make wine by the book, instead choosing to live by the philosophy – “if it doesn't work, I'll just tip it out”. Today, Carrodus’ vision is being continued by current winemaker Sarah Crowe, winner of James Halliday’s 2017 Winemaker of the Year, whose focus is on giving individual varieties and parcels the time and attention they deserve. From its famously cool climate, winemaker Sarah Crowe crafts bold, complex and utterly exquisite wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as Bordeaux and Rhone red blends. Unirrigated vines, incredibly low yields, and whole bunch fermentations gives wines with incredible intensity and concentration of flavour, perfectly balanced by an abundance of natural acidity. These fabulous wines have become a cult classic amongst Australian collectors and are usually produced in woefully small quantities.
Region
Yarra Valley
A cool growing region of particularly high quality, just north of Melbourne, Victoria. It is internationally recognized for the calibre of its Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, and some excellent Cabernet Sauvignons in warmer vintages.
