One of Yalumba's best value wines. Classic Cabernet-Shiraz blend which lends both richness & lift, this wine shows lovely Barossa fruit, well-integrated oak and a balanced finish. Fab wine.

Dry, not as full bodied as I like in a Shiraz but goes well with food.

Fruity, full bodied, rich - bolder that the Stobi. Can taste the Barrossa Valley sun! Good with crisps...

Drink like a local yokel. Although, I'm not sure they know that term here.

Nice deep dark fruit nose of blackberry and plum. 7/10

Taste of semi sweet cassis at first with a bit of pepper. Nice long aftertaste of caramel/butterscotch. Impressively long lasting. For a $20 bottle this is a great deal. 7/10
