The Signature Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 1995
Beginning with the 1962 vintage, 'The Signature' wines of Yalumba have saluted the very best of the vintage. They have also acknowledged the skills and dedicated service of people who have enhanced the traditions and culture of Yalumba.
The Cabernet Sauvignon/S hiraz blend is a distinctively Australian style and 'The Signature' has set the benchmark for this iconic style, drawing heavily on Yalumba's great Barossa resource of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz vineyards. Deep and intense, the wine displays full palate weight with powerful fruit and soft American oak which was hand-coopered at Yalumba - a wine made for longevity, very much 'The Signature' style.

The Signature 1995 is deep red in colour with a complex nose of ripe sweet plums and berries underpinned with rich chocolate and mocha oak. The
pH 3.46 full-bodied palate is rich and intense with berry fruit flavours and big powerful tannins to give a classic Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz that will reward long term cellaring.
