2012 Yalumba, The Caley, Coonawarra Cabernet & Barossa Shiraz, Australia

Description

52% Coonawarra Cabernet, 27% Barossa Cabernet, 21% Barossa Shiraz.
Marvellous purity of Cabernet fruit, rich and ripe and slightly smoky from the oak, lifted spice on the palate with wonderfully polished depth of flavours, a cross between Ducru-Beaucaillou and Palmer with a touch of Hermitage, superb texture and tannins.
Drink 2018-40.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 96/100
This is the first vintage of Yalumba's new Cabernet/Shiraz-based flagship wine. Deep garnet in color, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz The Caley offers expressive baked blackberries, cherry cordial and blackcurrant jelly notes with suggestions of Chinese five spice, cedar and anise. The palate is built like a brick house, delivering a solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness to support and complement the voluptuous, full-bodied flesh. It offers a very long, layered finish with lingering exotic spice and black berry preserves notes. Give it 3-5 more years in bottle and drink it over the next twenty-five.
