Tasting Notes

Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Shiraz 2009 is a distinguished Australian red wine from Yalumba, one of the country’s great family-owned wineries. Founded in 1849, Yalumba has crafted The Signature as a flagship Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend since 1962, celebrating the classic Australian tradition of combining two powerhouse varieties.

Rich, structured and beautifully balanced, this mature 2009 vintage layers expressive flavours of cassis, blackberry, ripe plum, dark chocolate and warming spice. Fine-grained tannins provide poise and structure, while generous dark fruit and a polished finish deliver depth and lasting appeal.

A sophisticated choice for collectors of premium Australian wine, this elegant Cabernet Shiraz blend is ideally suited to steak, roast lamb and special dinners. Sourced from a premium private cellar, it offers a compelling opportunity to enjoy a mature release of one of Yalumba’s most celebrated wines.

Critic Scores

The 2009 The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is aromatically lovely. On the palate, it's bloody, fine, sweetly fruited and layered with sweet bone marrow and cassis, with graphite, tobacco, dried mint and a hint of clove through the finish. The 2009 was matured in 35% new French barriques, French American and Hungarian hogshead, all Yalumba coopered. The 2009 vintage started with a lovely wet spring but was dry after that and low-yielding. And winemaker Louisa Rose says it was "always in the shadow of the showy 2008s." This here is polished and fine and absolutely lovely now. This was made with 52% Cabernet Sauvignon (sourced from Eden and Barossa Valleys), the balance Shiraz (sourced from Eden and Barossa Valleys). 13.5% alcohol, 6.8 total acidity, 3.48 pH, sealed under natural cork.

About this Wine

Cabernet Blend

A red wine blend built around Cabernet Sauvignon, often combined with varieties like Merlot or Cabernet Franc for added complexity.

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
