The more concentrated wine of the three Bordeaux-inspired wines outside of the Tally Reserve. Black olive, bay leaf, graphite and cassis swirl about, bolstered by a sheen of sexy oak, following an extended 18 months in French gear (50% new). This is a crowd-pleaser already, with ample fruit and coffee grind tannins tapering to a long finish. This said, it will age prodigiously.

Notes
Vintage 2016 was warm early, with cool night-time temperatures later in the season. Cabernet Sauvignon (97%) from our Walker Block, Old Paulownia vineyard and Dead Morris vineyard was blended with Petit Verdot (3%) from Dunstan. The Balnaves Cabernet Sauvignon spent 18 months in tight-grained French oak from Sylvain, Taransaud and Berger cooperages. It was bottled in December 2017.
Deep rich red in colour, the nose is very perfumed with aromas of wild blackberry, lavender and red fruits combined with fine vanilla French oak. The palate is structured and elegant with ripe cassis fruit and a fine tannin finish. – Jacinta Jenkins, Balnaves
