Dandelion Pride of the Fleurieu Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Vintage 2021

6 Gold Medals (so far!)

Red-black-purple and darkly lustrous. Aromas of blackberries from the cane underlined by a quicksilver waft of vanilla. Rounded, ripe and yet true to Cabernet Sauvignon’s DNA. Lifted aromatics of hardy herbs and tobacco leaf; hints of minerals, lime and earth. Fruit and tannin in harmony. Blackberry and cassis with background acidity. Structure and length. The faintest lick of finely tuned oak spice at the front palate. The core of blackberry fruit is well-mannered, with multitudinous and graphic tannins swimming effortlessly in at palate’s end. A big mouthful of red wine, but so structured as to remain poised and polite.
