2022 The Tally Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon · Coonawarra, South Australia
A quintessential Tally which will age gracefully for years to come.
Description
2022 was a cool and moderate season, perfect for the development of elegant and intense Cabernet Sauvignon. On the 19th of April, Cabernet Sauvignon from our Dead Morris vineyard (91%) was handpicked and co-fermented with 9% Petit Verdot, with maceration on skins for 16 days. The wine was then matured for 14 months in 36% new fine grained Taransaud French Oak barriques.

- Background
Among his many pursuits, Doug Balnaves was a shearer of Merino sheep. A shearer in Australia is paid by the number of sheep he shears. Counted every two hour period, the Tally is recorded in the Tally book. The higher the Tally, the greater the recognition among his peers for skill and hard work. As an expression of this tradition, the Balnaves family see the wine “The Tally” as the ultimate achievement for their company.

- Tasting Notes
Vibrant perfume and red fruit on the nose show the Petit Verdot influence while brooding dark mulberry, cassis and blackberry fruit is interwoven elegantly on the palate with graphite tannins and oak spice. This is a quintessential Tally which will age gracefully for years to come.
