Yalumba 'Vigil' Cabernet Sauvignon - 2017 (750ml) Massachusetts From a vineyard just outsideA cooler vintage has tuned this into darker fruit aromas and flavors, as well as attractively spicy notes and a wealth of rich blackcurrants, blueberries and dark stones. Some leafy aromas here, too. The palate holds a richly concentrated core of black fruit in deeply powerful tannins. Seamlessly integrated oak. So impressive. A star of the 2017 vintage. A blend of 53% cabernet sauvignon and 47% shiraz. Drink over the next decade.
