Oakridge LVS Barkala Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
DOZEN: $486.00 or $40.50 each
From one of the few cabernet vineyards in the Upper Yarra; planted at 240m elevation in Wandin East. Matured in French barriques (30% new) for 15 months. A medium crimson purple. Perfectly ripened cabernet fruit exhibiting aromas of dark cherry, violets, a little bramble and some complexing bell pepper. Medium bodied and compact, the fruit has swallowed up the oak and while it's a touch firm once it fleshes out a little (and it will) this should provide considerable pleasure for a decade or so. (95) PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion
Vivid purple-red colour, not that deep but very bright. Attractive red berry aromas, including blueberry, the bouquet fruit driven. There are cassis and red berry flavours galore, the palate is medium-full bodied, poised and elegant, with seamless flow and effortless charm. Tannins are fine grained yet persistent, supplying excellent structure. A lovely wine and very much in Yarra Valley style. (93) HUON HOOKE, The Real Review
