Yalumba 'The Signature' Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2022
The Wine
A classic Australian blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, featuring ripe and velvety tannins with excellent structure. It boasts a long, densely fruited finish that lingers beautifully.
97 Pts Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate 'The 2022 The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is so pretty—floral, red fruited and fine. This is a beautiful iteration of this wine. Ironically, there's a coastal freshness about it—kelp, brine, crushed shells—given it is nowhere near the coast. It's capacious and mineral and so fresh. The tannins are fine and neat, and the wine has incredible focus and line through the long finish. It's very impressive, potentially one of my favorite releases of this wine to date. It has wholly Barossa fruit this vintage. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. Drink 2025-2052.'
96 Pts Dave Brookes, James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion 'Yalumba's famous Signature cabernet sauvignon and shiraz blend has a strong pedigree when it comes to cellaring and the 2022 release will certainly carry on long into the future. The fruit density and purity here are impressive. Blackberry, doris plum and black cherry tones, their flow elegant and graceful across the palate with hints of spice, cedar, tobacco, pencil shavings, roasting meats, dried herbs and olive tapenade. Fine-grained tannins are in abundance and there is an extended finish that rolls on and on. It's a super release. Drink by 2054.'

About the Wine Maker 
Yalumba was established in 1849 by Samuel Smith, a British migrant and English brewer, who moved his family to Angaston in search of a new life. After purchasing a 30-acre plot just beyond Angaston's southeastern boundary, Smith and his son planted their first vines under the moonlight. Samuel named the land 'Yalumba," an Aboriginal word meaning "all the land around.' Now, five generations and 160 years later, Yalumba stands as Australia's oldest family-owned winery, renowned for its growth and contribution to the global success of Australian wine.
