Dandelion Vinenyards ‘Pride of the Fleurieu’ Cabernet Sauvignon (2020)

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.
