Yalumba Distinguished Sites - 2021 - The Cigar Cabernet Sauvignon - 750 ml.

Subregion: Coonawarra

Yalumba The Cigar — Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is an expressive red from South Australia’s famed terra rossa strip. Named for the cigar-shaped band of rich red soil that defines a distinct slice of Coonawarra, this 750 ml Cabernet Sauvignon leans medium-to-full in body and focuses on dark plum and ripe cherry fruit supported by cedar-scented oak. The wine shows soft, rounded tannins that give it approachability on release while retaining a backbone that rewards pairing and short-term cellaring. Producers in Coonawarra are known for the interplay between cool-climate varietal character and the region’s iron-rich loam; The Cigar exemplifies that balance with fruit purity at the core and subtle oak seasoning that frames rather than overwhelms. This is a versatile bottle for anyone building a cellar grounded in Australian Cabernet: enjoyable now with hearty roasts or mature cheeses, yet structured enough to gain composure over several years. Whether enjoyed with food or sipped on its own, The Cigar offers a direct, refined expression of Coonawarra Cabernet that suits weekday dinners and more considered meals alike. Packaged in the standard 750 ml format and produced by Yalumba, it’s a dependable, terroir-driven choice from one of the region’s established houses.
