The Cabernet Sauvignon vines, along with Cabernet Franc and Merlot, are planted on a north facing slope, managed with organic and biodynamic practices. First produced as a single-vineyard wine in 1978, Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon celebrates the incredible beauty that emerges from the vibrant rows of the Eden Valley Vineyard, revered for its texture, depth, complexity and fine-grained tannins.The 2021 vintage will be considered a standout of the decade, remembered for complex wines with exceptional varietal expression, balance and purity, that speak of the ancient land from which they originate.Spicy, perfumed aromas of blackcurrant, anise, violets, tomato leaf and cedar, with notes of bay leaf, black olive, crushed flowering herbs, cinnamon and cardamom. The palate is bright, vibrant and textural with pristine cassis building into complex layers of cocoa, cedar and sandalwood. Balanced acidity provides freshness and structure to the plush fruit, framed by an elegant tannin profile that persists through to the long fine, seamless finish.The 2021 single-vineyard wines show an impressive potential for long term ageing in ideal cellaring conditions.Single Price: $240.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $190.00
