Wine Description
A Cabernet-dominant blend, fruit power is the first impression, dark berry fruits and some sage adding a background herbal lift. Oak spice is evident but all in balance with the fruit. The palate shows power and restraint at the same time, the iron fist in a velvet glove.

Winemaker's Bio
Sarah Crowe began her wine career with 12 years in the Hunter Valley. Within three years she had become Brokenwood’s Assistant Winemaker. She also completed International harvests in Oregon and the Rhone Valley.
Sarah joined the Yarra Yering team in 2013 to focus on one single iconic vineyard site. The release of her first wines, the 2014 vintage saw her named James Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year 2017.
Now in the role of Winemaker and General Manager, Sarah hopes to continue to build on the reputation that Dr BB Carrodus started in 1969 with the first vineyard plantings at Yarra Yering.
