2017 Oakridge Original Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Yarra Valley

Marking the 40th anniversary of Oakridge, Chief winemaker David Bicknell has sourced 100% cabernet sauvignon grapes from the original Oakridge vineyard at Seville to produce a stunning wine.

Medium to deep red/purple colour with a bright, fresh, clean cabernet aroma of sweet cassis and background cedar. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with restrained but glorious flavour, and is slightly closed. It has a tight, firm palate, but reveals more and more blackberry, blackcurrant cabernet character as it airs in the glass. It's elegant and texturally refined. A beautiful cabernet with a big future. It demands patience. (Fruit is off the original Oakridge vineyard at Seville, to mark the Oakridge 40th anniversary.)

The 2017 Oakridge Original Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic, elegant Yarra Valley style that weighs in at just 13.3% alcohol. Drink 2021–2039
