The 2023 Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz Museum Release Magnum 1500ml showcases one of Australia's most enduring and celebrated red wine blends. Produced from selected South Australian vineyard parcels, this Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend opens with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, layered with cedar, dried herbs, graphite and subtle baking spice. The magnum format promotes slower bottle development, making it particularly attractive for both collectors and long-term cellaring.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with Cabernet Sauvignon providing cassis character, fine tannins and freshness, while Shiraz contributes richness, dark fruit depth and a generous texture. Balanced acidity and carefully integrated oak support the wine's concentration, leading to a long finish marked by savoury spice, dark berry fruit and impressive persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a classic Australian Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blend with the added benefit of magnum aging potential. Ideal for sharing at special dinners or adding to a serious cellar, it is expected to develop beautifully over the next 15–20 years. Pair with roast lamb, grilled rib-eye steak, slow-cooked beef dishes or mature hard cheeses.
