The 2023 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is a flagship Australian red blend that reflects Yalumba's long-standing expertise in combining Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Sourced from premium South Australian vineyards, it displays lifted aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, alongside notes of cedar, dried herbs, graphite and subtle spice. The wine captures both the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the richness of Shiraz in a balanced, age-worthy style.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and refined, with layers of dark berry fruit, cassis and plum supported by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Shiraz contributes generosity and texture, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides focus and structure. Subtle oak integration adds complexity without overshadowing the fruit, leading to a long and savoury finish.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who appreciate classic Australian red blends with both immediate appeal and cellaring potential. Enjoy now with roast lamb, grilled beef or slow-cooked braised dishes, or cellar for 15–20 years to allow additional layers of complexity to develop.
