Tasting notes from the producer:

Yarra Yering Dry Red No. 1 is a benchmark Bordeaux-style blend that captures the elegance and complexity of the Yarra Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon forms the backbone, supported by Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, delivering a wine of structure, aromatic lift, and longevity. The nose typically shows layers of blackcurrant, plum, and red cherry, interwoven with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and subtle floral tones. The palate is medium-bodied and finely balanced, with dark fruit purity, savoury depth, and silky tannins. Well-integrated oak and bright acidity provide drive and length, leading to a long, composed finish. This wine consistently reflects finesse, age-worthiness, and a distinct sense of place.
