Yalumba The Caley Cabernet Shiraz 2021

There is a bit of a mismatch between the label name and the technical notes here, so this is best described as a Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Barossa Shiraz blend in the style of Yalumba The Caley.

This is a finely detailed Australian red blend showing Cabernet Sauvignon structure from Coonawarra with the perfume and depth of Barossa Shiraz.

Tasting notes sit in blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum with lifted rose petal, violet and a subtle iodine like savoury edge. Cedar, dried herbs and fine spice build through the palate, supported by a long line of powdery tannins and a seamless, silky texture.

Style wise it is a structured yet elegant Australian red blend with focus on purity, detail and length.

Best with roast lamb, slow cooked beef or mushroom rich dishes.
