“The colour is relatively light: full red with a tinge of purple. Superb freshness and elegance, medium-bodied and delicious, complex and multi-layered. A great wine, with a magical array of flavours. All manner of berries and spices, dried flowers, dried herbs and dried fruits. Silky soft tannins. Refreshing on the finish. Not such a big fruit style, but deliciously drinkable and moreish." - Huon Hooke

“Yeringberg Yeringberg. Classic Yarra Valley blend, producer, wine. This 2013 release is a blend of cabernet sauvignon (65%), cabernet franc (12%), merlot (10%), malbec (7%), and petit verdot (6%). ”

Crushed dry tobacco. There’s an assortment of berried fruits here but the crush of smoky leaf, almost into cigar box territory, is as intoxicating as it is uplifting. It’s like an old school stamp of class; a ‘this is how it’s done’ moment. Fresh new oak plays a role here too but it’s a fully integrated one; a firm hand into a clean, tight-fitting glove. There is no need to worry on this one; it will age superbly. Complexity comes pre-prepared." - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

 

“65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec. Silty loam over gravel. Vines planted from 1969 to 2002, average vine age 30 years. Field blend, handpicked on 11, 19 and 25th March 2013. Hand plunged every 8 hours for 7 days, post maceration for several days, blended in stainless and matured in 40% new oak for 18 months. Bottled unfined. The fortieth release of a Yerinberg 13.5% alc., pH 3.58, TA 5.8g/l.”

Dark ruby with a little purple. Cabernet nose! Love that this smells like its five varietal components. There’s a hint of zucchini or herbs, rose water, raspberry and red fruit? The beautiful balance here makes this very fresh, life affirming and with fine but punctuating tannins... the spice and herbs giving this authenticity. Really rather delicious." - Andrew Graham, Australian Wine Review
