The 2019 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz Museum Release Magnum 1500ml is a mature expression of one of Australia's most respected red wine blends. Produced by Yalumba from selected South Australian vineyards, this museum release combines Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz to deliver both structure and depth. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum are complemented by cedar, tobacco leaf, dried herbs and subtle baking spice, reflecting the additional bottle age gained through careful cellaring.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and well balanced, with refined tannins supporting layers of dark berry fruit, cassis and savoury complexity. The integration of oak and bottle development adds notes of cedar, leather and spice, while fresh acidity maintains focus and length through the finish. The magnum format encourages slower maturation, helping preserve freshness while building greater complexity over time.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent option for collectors and lovers of classic Australian Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blends. The 1500ml magnum format is ideal for sharing over a long meal and offers excellent cellaring potential. Enjoy with roast lamb, grilled rib-eye steak, beef Wellington or mature hard cheeses, or continue to cellar for further development over the coming decade.
