From Mandala’s estate at Dixon’s Creek  and spending 18 months in French Oak.

Mandala, Cabernet Sauvignon, Yarra Valley, 2018

Elegant, fragrant blackcurrant/cassis and violets, soft chocolate cake richness, pouch tobacco, hints of leafy eucalypt and olive tapenade. Dark fruit to the fore with plenty of fine tannins as reinforcement. Seemingly uncomplicated yet not simple. Elegance and structure.
