D’Arenberg 2009 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon (McLaren Vale)

Country: Australia / South Australia
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: D’Arenberg / The Coppermine Road

D’Arenberg’s The Coppermine Road is always structured—sometimes to excess—but the 2009 vintage seems to have the requisite flesh to age successfully. Cedar, chocolate and cassis notes surround a firm core of dusty tannins. Drink from 2015–2025, and possibly beyond.
