The Henschkes may be better known for Shiraz but their Cabs can be nearly as singular and expressive. Cyril blends small amounts of Cab Franc and Merlot for what is a relatively quiet, gentle wine that seems to glide along to its own beat, completely unaware of its more robust counterparts down the hill in the Barossa Valley. Understated aromas of red currants, graphite, violets, damp earth, and whispers of salt and smoke lead seamlessly into a palate of ultrafine, sinewy tannins, silky texture and an earthy finish. Still in its youth, Cyril should blossom over time.
