Wine Expert Note:

The Yalumba The Caley Cabernet - Shiraz is a remarkable blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes. On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, accompanied by hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. The aromas are intense and inviting, promising a truly enjoyable tasting experience. The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture. The flavors of dark fruits continue to dominate, with additional notes of chocolate, coffee, and black pepper adding depth and complexity. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and lingering finish. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully for many years.
