[SOLD-OUT] Petaluma Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2014 Evans Vineyard

93 POINTS - HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION! 

 

"A typical varietal mix for this wine with this release: 57% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 3% shiraz. 18 months in 90% new French oak. Fragrant mulberry aromas and mint are dominant on the bouquet, the toasty oak a quiet contributor. Smoothly textured and long on the palate, the fruit builds in depth as it goes along, with the finish built more on acid than tannin." Drink by 2032." - Steven Creber, Wine Companion, 2018

 

"Yellow-labelled Petaluma Coonawarra is one of Coonawarra’s most enduring claret style wines. A blend of cabernet merlot with a touch of shiraz and petit verdot, the fruit derives predominantly from the low‑cropping Evans Vineyard (first planted in 1969). After vinification the wine is matured in new French oak barriques for 20 to 22 months. Elegantly structured and beautifully perfumed, it is typified by fresh blackcurrant pastille aromas, fine‑grained tannins and underlying savoury oak." - Petaluma
