2012 Yarra Yering Dry Red No 2

This is a wonderful release from an exceptional producer in the Yarra Valley. As a wine it was difficult to put into words how balanced and textured it is and still do it justice.

The wine gives a glossy dark red hue in the glass, with the nose benefiting from the aromatic lift of Viognier that gives a floral note to the plum and sweetly spiced experience.

The wine unravels in layers with a perceived lightness, yet the palate is brimming with wonderfully integrated raspberry and plum fruits. The quality of oak in this wine can’t be underplayed with the gentle hand giving superb structure and lingering spices to finish.

A remarkably good wine.
