TASTING NOTES

Yeringberg Cabernets 2015 is a masterful Bordeaux blend crafted from a meticulously tended single vineyard in Victoria’s renowned Yarra Valley. Composed of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, and 5% Malbec, this vintage reflects the ideal varietal proportions established by the de Pury family since 1863.

The 2015 growing season was characterized by a long, cool climate that fostered slow, even ripening, resulting in complex, layered flavors. Grapes were hand-picked and sorted, then fermented with wild yeasts using gentle extraction methods to preserve the wine’s freshness and purity. This careful approach yields a wine that balances elegance with depth, showcasing the unique terroir of one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious vineyards.

James Halliday, a leading Australian wine critic, praises Yeringberg as “Yarra Valley pioneers” whose wines “epitomise the finest the region can produce.” The 2015 Cabernets are noted for their velvety generosity of flavor without sacrificing varietal character, making them exceptional examples of long-lived, limited-release Bordeaux blends.

Key highlights include:

  • Produced by Yeringberg, a family-run estate established in 1863 with a legacy of tradition and excellence.
  • Scored an outstanding 98 points by renowned critic Huon Hooke, underscoring its premium quality.
  • Sourced from a private cellar, ensuring exclusivity and provenance.

This wine embodies the refined elegance and complexity that define the Yarra Valley’s finest Cabernets. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated, age-worthy wine with rich varietal expression and a storied heritage.

The colour is relatively light: full red with a tinge of purple. Superb freshness and elegance, medium-bodied and delicious, complex and multi-layered. A great wine, with a magical array of flavours. All manner of berries and spices, dried flowers, dried herbs and dried fruits. Silky soft tannins. Refreshing on the finish. Not such a big fruit style, but deliciously drinkable and moreish.

Superlative Yarra cabernet Ð perfumed, medium to full-bodied in weight, deeply flavoured; wonderfully long and elegant. A true classic, this wine has am alluringly sweet, violet-like fragrance of cassis, dark plums, cedar/vanilla oak and dried herbs. Smooth and luscious, with a long, pristine core of dark, vibrant fruit and fresh tight-grained oak knit tightly with fine, firmish but dusty tannins, it extends seamlessly and effortlessly towards a finish of superlative length, beauty and purity.

66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% cabernet franc, 8% merlot, 8% petit verdot, 5% Malbec. Up to three weeks on skins, 25% new oak, 18 months in barrel. 495 dozen made. Bottled in October 2016.

At the intersection of flavour and finesse, beauty is to be found. This is an elegant, fine-fingered wine with juicy boysenberry, ripe blackcurrant, bay leaf and clove notes shimmering throughout, whispers of creamy, resiny, cedarwood oak having just-enough influence without going too far. Tannin is ripe, fine-fingered, exquisite. If you look closely you see grass, dry tobacco and peppercorn notes. It’s quite a treat.
