Intense ruby with purple highlights. Intriguing, complex, blackcurrant and wild herb. Mouth filling with ripeness, texture and graininess. A charming Cabernet Sauvignon spiced up with some characterful Sangiovese would be perfect for such an occasion!

Established in 1995 and sheltered by the Toolangi State Forest on one side, the undulating slopes of this vineyard creates the ideal environment for grape growing. In the glass: Deep red purple.On the nose: Dark cherry, rose petal and spice perfume.On the palate: Plush and juicy, ripe and layered, with a pot pourri of red fruits, ripe yet velvety tannins and raspberry-like persistence.

Beautiful blackberry, spice and cassis are the hallmarks of this variety. The Zonzo Reserve has captured all these characters and more on the nose and pallet.The palate compliments the perfume of this wine with lovely cool climate Yarra Valley characters of tobacco leaf, cassis and black fruits. Beautiful oak influences the palate and integrates with the fruit and tannin profile to deliver an elegant yet rich Cabernet.
