Yeringberg Cabernets

Background

background: "cabernet sauvignon 58%, cabernet franc 13%, merlot 11%, petit verdot 10%, malbec 8%. as always, our bordeaux blend is a perfect example of the saying that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts." tasting note: "the 2018 vintage is a great example, seamlessly combining depth and power with purity, elegance and finesse. an imposing nose of cassis, violets, plum and roasted peppers, with aromas of graphite, cigar box, cedar and bay – everything in place, well controlled, perfectly proportioned. the palate, powerful this vintage, opens in typically generous and fleshy style, with ripe black fruits, plummy merlot plushness, and wonderful floral lift, while the ample, well-knit tannins provide savoury shape and structure. the palate finishes with effortless length and complexity. this is a wine to enjoy now, but as always, a wine that will reward cellaring over 15 to 20 years." - sandra de pury
