Tasting notes
The flagship here and based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec, 5% Carmenere, and 3% Merlot, the 2022 Red Blend Yettalil offers classic ripe, perfumed aromatics of red and black fruit, chocolate, incense, and spicy, savory nuances. It's rich and full-bodied, with a plump, rounded style, velvety tannins, and a good finish. It's an impeccably made 2022 to drink over the coming 10-12 years. Drink 2025-2036.

Full bottle 1,518 g. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec, 5% Carmenère, 3% Merlot. Deep purple. Rocky savoury earth, ripe black fruit and sweet oak on the nose – a touch more evident oak than on the normal estate bottling. Fine-grained tannin and balanced, taut acidity with a dry, dusty finish. Well executed. (SCJ)
Sourced from the estate's Hirondelle Vineyard, the 2022 Yettalil Red Wine is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec, 5% Carménère and 3% Merlot. Aromas of ripe cherries mingle with scents of menthol and hints of pencil shavings on the nose, while this medium to full-bodied wine is supple, even creamy at first, slowly fanning out across the palate and showing a bit more tannic structure before finishing long, mouthwatering and harmonious.
The 2022 Yettalil, the estate's top wine, is superb. Elegant, silky and refined, this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend offers lovely balance and plenty of class. This is a fine effort for the year. Pretty floral and spice notes lend nuance to this sophisticated, polished offering
