96 / 100"A beautiful wine that is showing better every time I see it. The elegance and balance of the wine are peerless. It's already showing a lot of complexity, the oak is seamlessly integrated and the tannins are super-fine and harmonious. It's what great Yarra cabernet-based wine is all about."

Tasting Notes
Yeringberg is a single vineyard wine; the vineyard is planted to our ideal proportions of the five varieties, but the actual percentages vary with the weather of each vintage. The 2010 is a classic, complex and effortlessly poised Yeringberg... and has all the hallmarks of a great vintage.
"Yarra Valley pioneers, the de Pury family are renowned for wines of finesse and elegance that epitomise the finest the region can produce. Produced from some of the oldest vines in the valley, these are long-lived wines made in tiny quantities. Yeringberg makes wines from the low-yielding vines re-established on the heart of what was one of the most famous vineyards of the nineteenth century. In the riper years, the red wines have a velvety generosity of flavour which is rarely encountered, yet never lose varietal character, while the Yeringberg White takes students of history back to Yeringberg's fame in the nineteenth century.” - James Halliday
