[SOLD-OUT] Medhurst Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

 

"Classic Yarra Valley claret style here. Redcurrant, tobacco and herb, aniseed and cedar oak. It’s medium-bodied, redcurrant jelly and dried roses, light on tannin, but big on freshness. It’s tight, mainly acid driven, though tannin does make a late play on a long finish. Very young as at now. Will be thoroughly charming in the years to come." - Gary Walsh, Wine Front

 

"The 2017 growing season was cool and mild, producing wines with wonderful acidity, flavours and fine boned slinky tannins. Due to such mild conditions and a relatively overcast summer vintage began three weeks later then in 2016 and 2015 on March 5th. The wines show great poise, fruit flavour and energy, another classic Yarra Valley vintage in the making. A complex cool climate Cabernet nose of tobacco leaf, blackberry, plums and hints of spice and graphite. Classic and enticing! The palate controlled by fine and talc-like tannins woven into a persistent and pure fruit finish. With tremendous poise and elegance, the 2017 Medhurst Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to improve with careful cellaring for over at least a decade." - Medhurst
