Product Notes

Yalumba 'The Cigar' Cabernet Sauvignon is an exquisite wine hailing from Australia's Coonawarra region. This robust red exudes rich, inviting aromas of dark cherry, blackcurrant and aniseed, rounded off with a note of savoury cigar box. On the palate, expect graceful flavours of ripe dark fruits and spice, supported by finely-grained tannins, culminating in a sustained, stylish finish. Quintessentially flavorful and balanced, Yalumba's The Cigar is as remarkable and satisfying as the vintage Cuban cigar it was named after. Brilliant shared on convivial occasions or paired with a hearty roast.

Tasting Notes

Deep red to crimson in colour. The aromatics display baking spices, plum, licorice allsorts, and blackberries. There are nuances of sea spray and ozone, combined with a melange of dark berries. The palate is rich and supple with great depth. Dark fruits, such as blueberry, are complemented by a savoury mid palate, showing tapenade and dried herbs. There are lovely bitter chocolate tannins and the recognisable structure and architecture that Coonawarra Cabernet is famous for. The palate crosses the line between savoury and fruit sweetness beautifully and will be a lovely youthful wine as well as maturing into an elegant and structural older wine.
