Balnaves
Balnaves has emerged over the last decade as one of CoonawarraŐs finest growers and makers of red wine. Over the years this maker has evolved its own style of red that involves a long ripening prior to harvest which can result in some slightly shrivelled and meaty characters, while most reveal a typically firm and drying astringency. While the flagship The Tally Cabernet Sauvignon most reflects these aspirations and usually has the depth of fruit to handle this approach (the 2012 being a fine example), the Cabernet Sauvignon can appear more elegant and vibrant by comparison. As frequently occurs, the inexpensive The Blend has provided one of the better inexpensive tasting experiences of the year.
