2008 Huma Yarra Valley Cabernet Merlot The 2008 season began ideally in the Yarra Valley, with excellent winter rainfall. Early season’s growth looked promising, with mild to warm weather continuing well into spring. A number of very hot days during late December and January brought vintage forward, however milder weather during February helped slow down and extend ripening somewhat. Eventually, a return to exceedingly hot weather during March brought the season to a rapid finish. Given the challenges that the season brought to us, through careful selection of harvest dates we were able to bring in all of our Yarra fruit at optimal ripeness. The cabernet sauvignon and merlot fruit was harvested from our Yarra Valley vineyards at optimal ripeness and fermented separately in traditional open fermenters. Once fermentation was complete, this wine was blended post-press and allowed to undergo malo-lactic fermentation and maturation in French oak barrels and temperature- controlled stainless steel tanks. The 2008 Huma Yarra Valley Cabernet Merlot displays classic varietal characters of blackcurrant and berries supported by spicy oak. Soft tannins and balanced acidity give a supple, lingering finish to this exceptionally drinkable wine. This wine will complement a vast array of dishes. Examples include traditional roast beef or lamb, tomato–based pasta dishes, rich winter casseroles, barbeques, or a selection of cheeses.
