Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2022

The 2022 The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is so pretty – floral, red fruited and fine. This is a beautiful iteration of this wine. Ironically, there’s a coastal freshness about it – kelp, brine, crushed shells – given it is nowhere near the coast. It’s capacious and mineral and so fresh. The tannins are fine and neat, and the wine has incredible focus and line through the long finish. It’s very impressive, potentially one of my favorite releases of this wine to date. It has wholly Barossa fruit this vintage. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. Drink date: 2025-2052. Score – 97. (Erin Larkin, robertparker.com, July 31, 2025)
