Yalumba Samuel's Collection Barossa Shiraz 2017

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaSamuel's Collection is a new tier for Yalumba, said to celebrate the “heritage, longevity, and estate” established by its founder Samuel Smith. The wine style is new as well, according to head of winemaking Louisa Rose, who says wine drinkers are seeking more youthful, generous and fresher wines. This candied blue fruit hits that mark, but one wonders what’s wrong with this generation of wine drinkers who prefer simple, quaffable shiraz to the blockbuster powerhouses that define the Barossa. I guess it’s up to you to see whether you want this style or not. I am lukewarm on this venture. Ready to drink.Tasted: 05 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
