The dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 Dry Red No. 1 exhibits notes of roasted herbs, cinnamon, toasty oak, red and black currants, and cedar. This pure, elegant, finesse-styled, medium-bodied Cabernet-based blend can be drunk now or cellared for a decade. It is interesting to note how much lighter and more developed aromatically the 1999 Yarra Yering offerings are than the 1998s. One has to admire this winery's purity of expression, and terroirists will use meaningless words such as "transparency" to describe these wines. Terroir or not, they merit considerable interest.Importer: Rob McDonald, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 258-9552
