The 2023 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Museum Release 3L is a distinguished large-format release from one of Australia's oldest family-owned wineries. Crafted in the Barossa, this classic Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend offers layers of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of cedar, dried herbs, graphite and subtle baking spice. The 3L museum release format is designed for slower bottle development, making it particularly appealing for long-term cellaring.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with Cabernet Sauvignon contributing fine tannins and cassis-like freshness, while Shiraz adds depth, richness and dark fruit concentration. Balanced acidity supports the wine's generous profile, leading to a long finish marked by savoury spice, oak complexity and persistent berry fruit.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a benchmark Australian Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blend. The large-format bottle is ideal for special occasions and extended cellaring, with the wine expected to develop additional complexity over the next 15–25 years. Pair with roast lamb, grilled rib-eye steak, slow-cooked beef dishes or mature hard cheeses.
