Rymill Coonawarra Classic Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The Classic Release range supersedes the Regional Classic range, which superseded the straight cabernet sauvignon. This is pure Coonawarra, showing plenty of class. Cassis and blackcurrants are inflected with tobacco, mint and woodsy spices. It’s more medium bodied, very fresh and lively. Tannins are pitch-perfect – ripe, savoury and slightly grainy. It feels nicely polished, but not fabricated. Drink by: 2033. Special Value. Score – 95. (Jane Faulkner, winecompanion.com.au, Aug. 13, 2021)
