Tasting Notes
The Yalumba Cigar Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is a classically structured expression from one of Australia's most celebrated cool-climate red wine regions. On the nose, it opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry, underpinned by the region's signature cedar and cigar box character — a nod to its evocative name. Hints of dried herbs and a subtle eucalyptus lift add a distinctly Coonawarra freshness. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a firm but polished tannic backbone, delivering concentrated flavours of cassis, plum, and dark chocolate. The oak integration is seamless, lending vanilla and toasty spice without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long, savoury, and persistent, with lingering notes of graphite and dried herbs that speak eloquently to the terra rossa soils of Coonawarra.
