Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz	2015	93	Jan-2020
Review “This premium cuvée from Yalumba is classic Barossa. An almost 50-50 split of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, it is rich and muscular yet restrained and balanced. It weaves notes of chocolate, plums, cherries, licorice, olives and ground black pepper with sweeter, cola-like notes from aging in a variety of oak barrels. The fruit on the palate feels bright and fresh thanks to a nice line of acidity. It’s supported by savory, textured tannins.”
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz Viognier - 2016	2016	89	Jan-2020
Review “This relatively big-boned Eden Valley Shiraz, this may taut the fact it’s cofermented with Viognier, but it only sees 2% of the variety. Nevertheless, even a smidgeon of Viognier seems to lift an often heavy grape like Shiraz into slightly brighter territory. This version opens with red-cherry aromas along with dried herbs, Christmas spices and a mealy oak character. In the mouth, tannins grip and dry the tongue, but not enough to push out the plush fruit. Savory, herbal flavors linger on the finish.”
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba Barossa Bush Vine Grenache	2018	90	Jan-2020
Review “The latest range in Yalumba’s vast array of wines, the Samuel’s Collection, includes this well-priced Grenache. It’s light bodied, gluggable and perfectly on trend. Bright and bouncy, it bursts with ripe red berries followed by dried leaf, green peppercorn and floral characters. The palate is equally dainty, with crunchy acidity, juicy fruit and soft herbal tannins—a straightforward but highly likable drop for drinking young.”
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba The Caley Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz	2014	96	Jan-2020
Review “This is Yalumba’s most premium wine, and it’s easy to see why. It blends Coonawarra Cabernet with Barossa Shiraz for a classy, complex wine that could be drunk over the next few years with lengthy time in decanter, but will really blossom over the next decade or even two. Once exposed to oxygen, it starts to reveal a plethora of enticing aromas, from bushels of red and black fruits to dark chocolate and coffee beans; from iodine to dried mint and tobacco. The palate is big yet focused, seamlessly melding the forest fruit with the earthy, dried herbal notes and oak spice, all supported by powerful, leathery tannins.” (Cellar Selection)
Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba Y Series Viognier	2018	90	Dec-2019
Review “Floral and fragrant, with orange blossom, peach and marmalade flavors set on a smooth and juicy frame. Shows precision and balance, with nutmeg details.”
Yalumba - Maryland Gazette	Yalumba Barossa Bush Vine Grenache	2018		Dec-2019
Review “We especially enjoyed. Aged only in the same older oak barrels as the syrah, the rich fresh fruit flavors of raspberry and plum shine through. If you have a hankering for Grenache you will love this wine.”
Yalumba - Maryland Gazette	Yalumba Barossa Shiraz	2017		Dec-2019
Review “Easily identified as shiraz. Aged in only a small amount of new French, Hungarian and American oak, the balance of aging takes place in older versions of these barrels. Fresh blueberry fruit notes with a hint of licorice are wrapped in a medium bodied red wine that is a delight to drink.”
Yalumba - Jamessuckling.com	Yalumba The Tri-Centenary Grenache	2015	96	Dec-2019
Review “There’s a very direct feel to this grenache, from a parcel planted in the 1880’s. The fresh, red-floral perfume and the raspberry and redcurrant aromas are so beautifully fresh. The palate has directness, intensity, focus and elegance with a very vibrant, gently tart red-fruit core.” (#52)
