The 2015 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Museum Release is a mature release of one of Australia's most iconic red blends. After extended cellaring, this Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend reveals complex aromas of blackcurrant, dried plum and blackberry, layered with cedar, tobacco leaf, leather, dried herbs and subtle spice. The additional bottle age has allowed the wine to develop greater depth and savoury character while retaining its regional expression.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully integrated, with refined tannins supporting flavours of dark berries, cassis, cedar and earthy spice. Matured fruit characters are balanced by fresh acidity, creating a seamless texture and impressive length. Notes of tobacco, leather and oak-derived complexity emerge through the finish, adding further dimension to the wine's structure.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a well-aged Australian Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blend. Already showing excellent bottle development, it can be enjoyed now or cellared further for additional complexity. Pair with roast lamb, beef Wellington, slow-braised beef cheeks or mature hard cheeses for a classic food and wine match.
