Since its first release in 1962, The Signature has been Yalumba's deep dive into the classic Australian blend from the Barossa and one that honors the people who have enhanced the traditions and culture of Yalumba. There is a resonance and depth to this release that I really like. Wonderfully pure and concentrated blackberry and plum fruits, layered with spice, dark chocolate, earth, cedar and oak nuance. Succulent and sinewy in the mouth, it flexes considerable muscle, yet remains purely fruited and approachable even at this stage of its evolution. Rich and balanced with fine, ripe tannin and plenty of energy for such depth of fruit. Lovely.

Deep red with good purple in the meniscus; it smells fresh and bright, dark fruits and spices with touches of new leather and tapenade, and the oak is not overt, a major improvement in this wine over the years. The wine is concentrated and powerful, with great depth of flavour and ample ripe tannins backing up. Long, long carry; fruit-sweet core. A smashing glass of red, with a long and rosy future —although I can also enjoy it right now. (Nick Waterman blend)

An impressive star of the 2018 vintage. Medium deep, dense, red in colour. Cool, fresh aromas of perfumed mints, blueberry, small red berries and red spicy cedar notes. Some leafy aromatics appear as the wine opens up over time. A refined and complex palate that is delightfully fresh with seamlessly integrated oak. Generous red berry fruit is wrapped in finely honed tannins. A medium to full bodied wine with a long flowing tannin profile. A very refined Signature.
