A long term NYW favourite, making a return after a while. A tip off from old friend Rolf Binder and then tasted at the Australia Day tasting in London reminded me just how good this wine can be and the 2018 is an absolute cracker!!
"The 2018 The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz (the 48th vintage) is named for Nick Waterman (managing director and CEO of Yalumba 2015 - 2022). The 2018 vintage in South Australia (and specifically here, Barossa) was an excellent one: ripe/warm, even and long and produced wines with density, energy and gravitas. This is exactly that: plush and powerful. The fruit forms a perfect dovetail: the enveloping, mouth-filling abundance of the Shiraz, neatly wedged into the folds of the structuring and shapely Cabernet. Very impressive. This is one of the more impressive Signatures in recent times. It will cellar with grace and ease." 96 pts Erin Larkin The Wine Advocate
