2014 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is a benchmark Barossa Valley red blend, showcasing the winery’s long-standing expertise in combining Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure with Shiraz’s richness.

On the nose, this wine reveals complex aromas of blackberry, plum, chocolate, and subtle earthy tobacco, layered with hints of spice and cedar. As it evolves in the glass, notes of olive, dried herbs, pepper, and floral nuances emerge, adding depth and sophistication.
The palate is full-bodied and structured, featuring dark berry fruit, cassis, and chocolate supported by finely integrated oak and chewy, well-balanced tannins. A silky texture and savoury edge carry through to a long, persistent finish with spice and mineral complexity.
This vintage has received critical acclaim, with scores around the mid-90s from leading wine critics, reflecting its quality and consistency.
