Soumah’s 2017 Cabernet d'Soumah showcases the structural finesse achievable in the cool-climate microclimates of Victoria's Yarra Valley. Sourced from estate and select regional vineyards, this vintage benefited from a extended growing season that fostered classic varietal definition, vibrant natural acidity, and moderate potential alcohol.
Traditional vinification and gentle extraction techniques are paired with focused maturation in neutral and lightly toasted French oak. This restrained oak regime preserves the bright cassis profile while conferring subtle structural tannins and savory complexity suited for immediate enjoyment or short-to-medium cellaring.
Tasting notes
Aromas of wild blackcurrant, dried bay leaf, and crushed cedar lead into a balanced, medium-bodied palate. Layers of dark plum, graphite minerality, and fine-grained tannins are underlined by fresh acidity, culminating in a crisp, savory finish.
