Henschke Cyril Henschke Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Eden Valley, Australia

Henschke's cooler-climate Cabernet Sauvignon from Eden Valley granite — named for the patriarch Cyril Henschke who planted the vineyard. Blackcurrant, cedar, dried herb, graphite, and the cool-climate precision that distinguishes Eden Valley Cabernet from the warmer Coonawarra or Barossa styles. Develops magnificently over 15+ years. One of Australia's most underrated fine Cabernets.

Pairing intelligence

• main: South Australia's finest lamb and its Eden Valley Cabernet — the wine's graphite and black fruit bridges the lamb's herb crust; warrigal greens provide a distinctly Australian vegetable bridge
• main: The premium Australian beef and Eden Valley's finest Cabernet — the wine's structure and dark fruit handles the wagyu's extraordinary marbling; native pepper berry bridges the wine's herbal complexity; saltbush mirrors the wine's mineral precision
