Spectator Wine Club: 6x Yalumba, 'The Cigar' Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021

The 2021 Yalumba ‘The Cigar’ Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon (5) is so-named in recognition of Coonawarra’s distinctive cigar-shaped outcrop of treasured terra rossa soil. This is Cabernet country, and the Yalumba Menzies Estate, established in 1975, encompasses the finest possible plots. The result: a wine of remarkable depth and concentration, full of dark berry fruit, touches of mint, eucalyptus and dried herbs, spice and even more juicy fruit. “You little ripper!” exclaimed Mrs Ray who was becoming noticeably more Australian the further down the bottles she went. £21.83 down from £24."
