Petaluma Anova Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra
Price Range at Release: $100-$199
Vintage: 2021
Alc %: 14.5
$ Rel: 150
A Coonawarra cabernet that reveals itself ever so slowly to possess a perfume of dark flowers, cassis, mulberries and dark plums with a hint of meatiness but also some rather raw and planky oak. Medium to fullish in weight, it presents a smooth, elegant palate with vivacious small berry fruit and a fine, powdery extract. While its oak does eventually tighten into the wine, it leaves a rather hard-edged and drying impression at the finish.

Winery
Petaluma
A benchmark Australian wine company, Petaluma was initially established by Brian Croser and is today a newly acquired but key component of Accolade Wines. It recently moved into its new winery and cellar door at Woodside in the Adelaide Hills, which should provide the winemaking team with significantly more capacity to process fruit in these days of earlier and more condensed vintages. The current Petaluma white wines perform at their anticipated levels of quality, but the reds appear to have been affected by a lack of brightness and vivaciousness that could be attributed to unwanted levels of hang time before processing.
