Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2006

Beginning with the 1962 vintage, 'The Signature' wines of Yalumba have saluted the very best of the vintage. They also have acknowledged the skills and dedicated service of people who have enhanced the traditions and culture of Yalumba.

The Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 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 - a wine made for
longevity, very much "The Signature" style.

The Signature 2006 is a very deep dark red with generous sweet dark chocolate and warm fig, blackcurrant and cedary spices on the nose. The palate is broad shouldered, intense and concentrated with lingering red and black currant notes. Young and tight, this wine will reveal an elegance and silky refinement on the palate given time. Perfect with braised lamb shanks. The 2006 vintage growing season consisted of a late winter break of favourable winter and spring rains. These placed the vines in excellent health with strong canopies and a balanced fruit-set. Awards and Accolades: 6 Gold

"Matured for 22 months in American, French and Hungarian barrels coopered at Yalumba. Provides a journey based on grace, elegance and purity; fresh, vibrant and largely unevolved, the potent black-berried fruit is pure and poised, and the tannins are silky and fine; the vibrancy of the fruit core is electric, as is the persistence of the finish.
