Yalumba Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz The Signature Kevin Glastonbury and Ron Nettelbeck 2019
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe 2019 vintage features a blend of 52% cabernet sauvignon and 48% shiraz. It has a dark red colour, with floral notes and eucalyptus. On the palate, it presents intense blackberry and black plum, along with licorice, and has a long finish characterized by tannins. This blend is noted for its refinement. That said, I would lay this wine away for three to five more years before opening it. Each vintage of The Signature acknowledges an individual who has contributed significantly to the culture and traditions of Yalumba. In 2019, two individuals were recognized: winemaker Kevin Glastonbury, and chief viticulturist Robin Nettelbeck. The cabernet sauvignon and shiraz used in this wine come from Barossa vineyards, some of which date back to 1925. The wine is aged for 19 months, with 25% in new French barriques and Hungarian hogsheads, while the remainder is matured in older French and Hungarian barriques and hogsheads.Tasted: 19 March 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $179.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Pacific Wines and Spirits |
