2021 Jeanneret Minerva Reserve Cabernet

2021 Minerva Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Wine
Essentially our ‘Reserve’, the Minerva represents a
selection of the best Cabernet Sauvignon of the
vintage.
In the glass, the colour is absolutely stunning:
completely saturated black with an incredibly
narrow, vibrant and vivid crimson rim. The
beautifully fragrant nose shows a combination of
complex, savoury characters including spice and
tobacco and lots of delicious dark blackberry and
blackcurrant fruit.
The silky, velvety and intense palate is filled with
gorgeous, sweet black fruit – lots more blackberry
and blackcurrant – and there’s really nice weight,
depth and texture. Utterly delicious: a wine of real
complexity, tremendous purity and remarkable
intensity
