Yalumba The Scribbler Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz 2009
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaYalumba is a fan of the cab shiraz blend first made there in 1962 and The Scribbler, now in its fourth year of production is coming into its own especially helped by the fine 2009 Barossa vintage. The nose is aromatic and fresh with floral highlights flecked with liquorice. Earlier versions were fairly acidic but the09 is rounder and fuller and much more enjoyable on the mid-palate with minty, cherry, smoky fruit all with a smooth, glossy texture. The finish is long and smooth. Serve now with your favourite cut of meat or cellar another five years.Tasted: 12 November 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $26.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
