Dandelion Vinenyards ‘Pride of the Fleurieu’ Cabernet Sauvignon (2020)
Product Description
With 50 year-old vines and low yields, the wife and husband team of Elena Brooks and Zar (yes, just one name), are able to produce a classic Cabernet that rivals those of California that sell for twice the price (or more). The nose is scented blueberries, cassis and anise aromas with baking spice, cedar and blackberry notes. Rich, deep, full-flavored, blueberry, black plums, figs and milk chocolate flavors. Tobacco, spearmint and soft powdery Cabernet tannins softened by smooth, mouth-filling fruit before a really extended finish.
I have great affection for cabernet from the Fleurieu, with its bold flavours and inimitable maritime salinity, the latter marking the tannins while placing the wines. Here we have a cornucopia of blackcurrant, menthol, pastille, iodine, violet, olive spread and sage. The tannins, firm, salty and crusted with herb. The barriques, seamlessly integrated and part of the mould. A moreish, powerful and delicious wine.
