2019 Purlieu Teucer Vineyard

The volcanic soils of Coombsville’s Teucer Vineyard always produce structured Cabernet of wonderful depth and age-worthiness, but the 2019 vintage is already offering extraordinary balance and enjoyment. The nose is dark and impenetrable, with notes of rocky minerals and black fruit. In the mouth, the wine bursts into rich chords of blackberry, boysenberry and sweetened cranberry, with a caramel topnote that warms and brightens the mouthwatering fruit on the mid-palate. The tightly-knit tannin structure is soft and supportive, guiding the long finish of purple fruit and aromatic baking spice.
