Yarra Yering

Dry Red Wine No°2 Shiraz 2010

9.3

This full bodied wine leans towards savory, but also gives red fruit, meaty flavors, stewed fruit, and dried herbs. This wine speaks to me in a Chateau Musar kind of way.

Yarra Yering is one of Australia’s most iconic wineries. The 2010 Dry Red Wine No 2 is a unique blend consisting mostly of estate-grown shiraz (95%), with small portions of viognier, marsanne and mataro. It is described as sort of an Australian riff on an old-school Cote-Rotie. I call this one delicious.

Enjoying some wine with Santa on Christmas eve.

2 hour decant (moderate chunky/fine sediment). A prodigious dark crimson with some bricking. On the nose: beautiful notes of red cherry, cigar box, cedar, little barnyard funk, herbaceous. Taste: old school and elegant! with black plum, red currants, scorched earth, cedar, crushed stone, and tobacco. YUM! In a nice place with the decant and still time to go. — a month ago

Primary and supple, still prominent oak but meshed nicely with black earth and black cherry notes. I’d give this 2-3 more years at least but the components are there for something profound. — 2 months ago
