TASTING NOTES FOR Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Barossa South Australia 2019

🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby red with inky depth. Dense and concentrated, showing richness and power in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Complex and layered, with blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry. Notes of dark chocolate, vanilla and subtle oak intertwine with hints of spice and floral lift, creating an inviting and sophisticated bouquet.

👅 Palate
Full-bodied and richly structured, delivering concentrated black fruits—blackberry, cassis and plum—supported by layers of spice, cocoa and fine oak. The Cabernet brings structure and backbone, while Shiraz adds generosity and depth.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Firm, well-integrated tannins provide structure and longevity. The texture is powerful yet polished, finishing long and persistent with lingering dark fruit, spice and savoury oak notes.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blend—bold, structured and age-worthy. Combines power and elegance, reflecting a long-standing Australian benchmark style first produced in the early 1960s.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with premium cuts of beef, roast lamb, game or slow-cooked dishes. Also excellent with aged cheeses and rich, hearty cuisine.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A benchmark Australian red that delivers depth, structure and pedigree. Ideal for straight dozens or to anchor a premium Better Buy The Dozen mixed selection—serious wine with serious presence.
