Tasting notes
The 2017 Dry Red Wine No. 2 is a beautifully composed blend of Syrah, Viognier, Mourvèdre and Marsanne. It's bright and energetic, radiating with cranberry and white pepper aromas, topped by meaty notes in strong support. Vibrant, fleshy and mouth-filling, layers of savory, earthy tones and aged spices emerge before an ethereal finish of exceptional length.

The wines of Yarra Yering are prized in Australia for their luminescent fruit profiles and masterful handling of tannins both in the vineyard and at the hands of winemaker Sarah Crowe. At five years of age, this 2017 Dry Red No 2 (Rhone Blend) has done nothing but settle into its own self: it has retained the seductive and silky flow of flavor in the mouth that it had on release and shows that time is not bothering it. Almost suspended in animation, the wine verges on unevolved—it has barely moved through its first stage of development. What a superstar. Awesome.
95% Shiraz, 3% Mataro, 1% of each Viognier and Marsanne. Dark crimson. Very together, well-melded confident nose. Already very pleasing on the nose and then tightens up on the end. Tastes neither Australian nor Rhône. Maybe it’s Yarra Yering! (JR)
A firm and silky-tannined red that has such polish, richness and beauty. Lots of spice and fruit-tea character, as well as plums and berries. A blend of 95% shiraz, 3% mataro, 1% viognier and 1% marsanne. Drink now. Screw cap.
