The Yarra Yering Dry Red No.1 is a true Bordeaux-styled red blend comprising Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot with small parcels of Malbec and Petit Verdot.
"55% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot, 12% malbec, 5% petit verdot. Essence of blackcurrant with a boysenberried freshness, almost into forest berry territory, with polished cedar wood oak and drifts of fragrant herbs. Pure, complete, svelte; all these words apply. Has a long run ahead of it." 96pts - Campbell Mattinson - Wine Companion
"Very bright, youthful, deep purple/red colour, and a lovely bouquet of blackberry and cassis, oak making a subtle contribution, the palate intense and powerful, full-bodied but not big or anywhere near a blockbuster, the tannins abundant and supple, fine-grained and persistent for the entire palate. An utterly gorgeous wine, cabernet characteristics well in evidence, but already complex, profound and multi-layered. Wonderful flavour and precision. Prodigious length, seamless harmony and great potential - although it's a great drink now." 98pts - Huon Hooke - The Real Review
