Petaluma - Evans Vineyard Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2021 750ml
"The 2021 Coonawarra vintage was exceptional, with mild conditions delivering small concentrated berries of outstanding quality, Old vine Cabernet Sauvignon from the Evans Vineyard was handpicked between 12th and 20th of April, with Merlot harvested on 16th April.
Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) was matured for 18 months in French oak barriques and hogsheads (40% new), while the Merlot (10%) rested in seasoned oak before blending and bottling
The wine shows vibrant cassis, blackberry and redcurrant, lifted by leafy notes and framed by cedar spice Elegant yet powerful, with silky tannins and great length, it will cellar for more
than a decade - a benchmark Coonawarra blend." -Petaluma
"Lots of purple remaining in this deep crimson colour, the bouquet shows toasty-oak laced dark berries, with a layer of very dark chocolate. It's very full-bodied and firm, rich and dense with masses of tannins providing formidable structure. A powerhouse of a cabernet. 96 Points." -Huon Hooke, The Real Review
