Koerner Classico Red Wine 2021, crafted by Damon & Jono Koerner in Clare Valley’s Parish, Vivian & Gullyview vineyards, is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated red that speaks of regional terroir with elegant restraint. Dark blackberry and cassis mingle with a perfume of lavender and subtle violet. Medium body, crisp acidity, and fine, silky tannins frame the palate, while a mineral thread – red clay over limestone – brings tension to the finish. At 13.4% alcohol, this wine blends freshness with depth. Scored 95 points by Mike Bennie for its generous but balanced profile. A wine built for both early drinking and cellar potential.
