About Yalumba SC Barossa Shiraz 750ml
The Yalumba Samuel's Collection Barossa Shiraz opens with a deeply expressive nose of ripe blackberry, dark plum, and crushed violets, underscored by warm notes of dark chocolate and a whisper of smoked meat characteristic of the Barossa Valley. On the palate, the wine is generous and full-bodied, delivering waves of black cherry, boysenberry, and mocha, supported by velvety tannins and well-integrated American and French oak. The mid-palate shows a pleasing richness and concentration typical of Barossa Shiraz, with hints of cracked black pepper and licorice adding complexity. The finish is long, warm, and satisfying, with lingering spice and dark fruit that speaks to the sun-drenched terroir of one of Australia's most celebrated wine regions.
