Country

Australia

Whilst most of Australia consists of arid deserts and dense bushland, the oceanic coasts to the south of the country have a terrain and climate ideal for vine cultivation and wine production. It took several decades of failed attempts at the end of the 18th century in order to produce vines of a decent enough quality for making wine, but since those first false starts, the Australian wine industry has continued to grow and grow. Today, wine production makes up for a considerable part of the Australian economy, with exports in recent years reaching unprecedented levels and even overtaking France for the first time ever. Whilst the greatest successes in regards to quality have been the result of the Syrah grape varietal (known locally as Shiraz), Australia utilizes several Old World grapes, and has had fantastic results from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and more. As the Australian passion for locally produced wine continues to develop, wineries have begun experimenting with a wider range of grape varietals, meaning that nowadays it isn't uncommon to find high quality Australian wines made from Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Viognier, amongst many others.

Region

Barossa

The Barossa Valley in Australia is one of the New World's most interesting wine regions, having been established in the late 19th century by German settlers. The region benefits enormously from the relatively temperate climate, which ranges from being hot on the lower parts of the valley, to quite cool as the altitude increases on the valley slopes. Barossa Valley produces mostly Shiraz wines, and has become one of the key Australian regions for this distinctive grape varietal which has gone on to be a major grape for the Australian wine industry. Despite suffering from a poor reputation in the mid 20th century, by the 1980s, plenty of unique and forward-thinking wineries set up in Barossa to take advantage of its excellent climate, and set about producing the excellent red and white wines which the region is famed for today.

Wine Advocate

The 2015 The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is now 10 years from its harvest, and the wine has developed beautiful soft leather, dark chocolate, mulberry and peppercorn notes. It features a combination of French, American and Hungarian oak. The wine is perfectly comfortable here, sedate, complex and settled. It's a beautiful wine and one that gets better and inevitably softer as it gets older. It features 20% Eden Valley fruit, although that number varies each year depending on the seasonal conditions. I really appreciate the tannins here; they're pulverized, soft and fresh. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

James Suckling

This has a very attractive, blackberry and red-plum nose with some leafy elements, as well as plenty of oak spice and hints of black tea. This has a fleshy, supple, bold and round palate. Very supple, sleek and long. Silky, yet sturdy. Very drinkable now and will last a good two decades. A vinous slam dunk! Drink or hold.

Vinous Media

Limpid ruby. A complex and finely detailed bouquet evokes red and dark fruit preserves, pipe tobacco, smoky oak and candied rose and a succulent herb nuance builds in the glass. Offers bitter cherry, mulberry, cola, floral pastille and spicecake flavors, along with hints of vanilla and mocha. The smoky note recurs on an impressively long, floral- and spice-driven finish that's framed by smooth, even tannins.

Decanter

Honouring Barossa vineyard manager Darrell Kruger’s service (since 1975), the expressive nose reveals blueberry fruit, eucalyptus hints and mocha oak. Dried herbs, liquorice, chocolate, an ironstone tang and smoky espresso lend savoury nuance to the sweet plum and tighter-knit blackcurrant and berry flavours. Creamy vanilla oak (18% new) sheathes the firm backbone of tannin on a sustained, savoury and mineral finish.

James Halliday

A seamless affair. Tobacco, blackcurrant, plum and malty oak sing in beautiful harmony, firm tannin singing from the same integrated songbook. Mint and dried herb notes make qualified contributions too. It doesn't have a lot of spunk, but it puts not a foot wrong.

Wine Enthusiast

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. Drink now, with protein at hand and until 2029 at least.

WNS 92pts

Wine & Spirits

This is a lush cabernet that keeps a cool profile, enriched by dark fruit and tannins that taste of coffee and bitter chocolate, even as the structure feels lovely and restrained. The wine benefits considerably from time with air, giving itself more fully a day after it’s first opened. Cellar it for a year or two, then serve with grilled lamb.

WS 88pts

Wine Spectator

Tight and dense blackberry and black cherry flavors show notes of chalky earth, fresh herb and pepper, with plenty of restraint on the muscular frame. Short-term cellaring might help some of the flavors unwind. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Drink now through 2035. 11,000 cases made, 400 cases imported.

Winery Notes

The aromas are all classic Signature, with red currants, cool perfumed cedar flavors and complex savoury dried herbs. Precise aromatics and classically rich through the middle palate. Showing exotic florals, cranberry and a depth of dark chocolate richness.
