Bright cherry red colour with lively and lifted with freshly picked cherries, raspberry and dusty cocoa. The palate displays an intense fresh fruit sweetness with blackcurrant, cherry and notes of chocolate and mint, which is balanced by a round velvety mouth feel and a medium body.
The original wine in the Rymill Coonawarra Yearling stable, this wine is a dashing two year-old Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Especially made to present lively, fruity aromas with a soft, supple structure, this vibrant yet approachable wine is absolutely perfect to enjoy now. Enjoy this wine with slow cooked ragu and freshly made pasta or roast rib-eye and root vegetables.
Awards and Accolades
2013 Vintage: Special Value Wine & 92 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion "It's hard to expect more from a 1yo Coonawarra cabernet; it is full of fresh cassis and redcurrant fruit, fearsome cabernet tannins nowhere to be seen, instead the length comes from delicious cabernet fruit. A standout bargain."
From the Winery
The Yearling Cabernet Sauvignon is made to present lively, fruity aromas with a soft, supple structure. This vibrant yet approachable wine is absolutely perfect to enjoy now.
The Coonawarra and Cabernet combination is a true gift from nature: an exceptional mix of natural elements – a cool climate and the perfect soil. Coonawarra’s Terra Rossa soil is unique, being a mixture of red clay and fertile loam overlaying deep limestone.
Great wines come from great grapes and this is exemplified in our vineyards. Forty years old and growing strong. 150 hectares of family owned, managed and sustainably grown vineyards are entirely on this precious terra rossa.
