Yalumba Samuel’s Collection Barossa Shiraz 2018

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe fruit is sourced from Barossa vineyards. The vines range from young (approximately 10 - 12 years old) to 35+ years. Production goes into a mix of French, American, and Hungarian, with 25% new, to shape this surprisingly easy-sipping, densely textured shiraz. Blackberry, blueberry, and cassis with a touch of leather mark the attack flecked with tobacco and brown spices. As mentioned, this is easy on the palate already, so you can drink it now, although another year in bottle would further help this wine reach its zenith. A solid, if safe, offering.Tasted: 28 October 2021Tasted by: Prices:
