- TASTING NOTE: "A seamless affair. Tobacco, blackcurrant, plum and malty oak sing in beautiful harmony, firm tannin singing from the same integrated songbook. Mint and dried herb notes make qualified contributions too. It doesn't have a lot of spunk, but it puts not a foot wrong." 94 Points - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion

ABOUT THE WINE: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Shiraz. The Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from four vineyards in the Barossa Valley. The diversity of our vineyard selection provides the rich, lifted Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics and palate structure for which The Signature is renowned. The Shiraz comes from
vineyards of varying age, with the oldest planted in 1925. These blocks are of sandy loam, featuring yellow sand and ochre clay over red clay. The combination
of these Barossa Valley blocks provides a Shiraz with sweetness, fullness, depth and layers of complexity. Matured for 22 months in 18% new Yalumba-coopered French barriques, French and Hungarian hogsheads, balance in older French, Hungarian and American barriques and hogsheads. - ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Owned and run by the Hill-Smith family, Yalumba has a long commitment to quality and great vision in its selection of vineyard sites, new varieties and brands. It has always been a serious player at the top end of full-bodied Australian reds and was a pioneer in the use of screwcaps. Encompassing everything our family stands for and the perfect representation of our history and ethos, The Signature is a sentimental favorite. A classic Australian blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
