2023 Joshua Cooper Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Description
WINEMAKER: Joshua Cooper REGION: Pyrenees, VIC VARIETY: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
For me, a wine with as much stylistically/drinkability as the medium bodied reds of Chianti Classico and the like. Pure fruit, unencumbered by oak, yet still nicely structured and savoury. An anytime Claret.
Dark garnet with classic aromas of cassis, blackberry, cherry, pencil lead and a subtle sage herbal top note. The deep and fleshy fruit is balanced by a line of fine, refreshing acid, and savoury, grainy tannins. Medium bodied and eminently drinkable (especially with a light chill), some cellaring will also be rewarded.
The son of biodynamic power couple Alan & Nelly Cooper of Cobaw Ridge, Joshua Cooper is one of the most exciting young winemakers in Australia. Unbelievable precision and focus. Tiny quantities, high demand, a producer to watch.
