Yarra Yering

Dry Red N°1 Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2022

Bob McDonald

9.6

The final wine at the Yarra Yering dinner in Brisbane last Thursday night 3rd October 2024 with winemaker Sarah Crowe. Fitting that Dry Red No. 1 should be the final wine - arguably the Jewel in the Crown. Initial aromatic impressions are gorgeous. This is the 50th vintage of Dry Red No. 1. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Brief notes - blackberry, aniseed and bay leaf. A medium bodied Cabernet with M+ intensity and finishing with fine boned tannin structure. Power with poise, concentration with finesse. Will live for 20 years plus. I have been buying on an irregular basis for many years. The 1990 was a highlight. I asked Sarah, who was Chairman of the Royal Sydney Wine Show this year to compare 3 of the main Cabernet producing areas in Australia - Yarra Valley leafy fragrance, Coonawarra Mint, and Margaret River herbaceousness. At Restaurant Dan Arnold. — 4 months ago

I want to know where this dinner was. Beyond jealous. Just saw all the wines. Amazing

@Helen Arvanitopoulos The dinner was at Restaurant Dan Arnold in Brisbane, Helen. Dan is an Australian who spent many years working at Michelin starred restaurants in France before returning home and opening his own restaurant.

Been a while but I think I rated the one I tried similarly. Don’t remember the price but was pkeased

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

@Norman Gennaro Cost to resto is $50. Tasted more like the upgraded Special Club stuff in the $75-$100 range.

I love Dakota Shy wines, and this is an excellent one. Decanted for several hours. Inky dark purple. Full-bodied, rich, and complex. Dark chocolate, plums, cassis, and a hint of vanilla. Long finish. Fabulous now, but still has a lot of cellaring potential. — a month ago

Damn did I love this when I first opened and tried. It was like a beautiful buttery but fresh oak taste. I've been drinking this in the spring Amsterdam sun and it gets better with every sip. Chardonnay done right — 8 months ago
