2012 Rob Dolan White Label Cabernet Sauvignon, Yarra Valley

2012 was an excellent vintage across the board in the Yarra Valley although yields were approximately 40% down throughout the region. A wet spring made for challenging growing conditions in the early party of the season as growers worked hard to stay on top of disease pressures. The remainder of the growing season was outstanding with periodic rain events and ideal growing conditions. Fruit ripened beautifully with good flavour and acid balance. Classic Indian summer conditions saw a warm spell towards the end of April that allowed the later ripening varietals to ripen perfectly. A benchmark Yarra Valley vintage.
