Description

Taltarni’s reputation for estate-grown red wines of longevity and depth is firmly rooted in their focus on cool-climate, full-bodied expressions — and this Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a compelling example of that pedigree. Crafted to highlight varietal purity and regional character, it reflects both precision in the vineyard and restraint in the cellar. In the glass, the wine shows a vibrant red core with regal purple hues. The nose is complex and layered, opening with earthy, dusty tones alongside classic Cabernet notes of tomato leaf and blackcurrant. There’s an immediate sense of structure and composure that sets the tone for the palate. On tasting, the wine is beautifully balanced, revealing rich blueberry fruit and savoury cigar box nuances that unfold into a lingering finish marked by dark chocolate. The tannins are round and velvety, providing a smooth yet purposeful framework that carries the wine with confidence and ease. Aged prior to release and drinking well now, it nevertheless has the structure and balance to continue evolving gracefully for another decade. Best enjoyed alongside traditional Cabernet companions such as lamb, game or beef dishes, where its depth, savoury complexity and polish truly come into their own.
