The Story

Yalumba has remained steadfast in its commitment to the Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Some of Australia’s most legendary wines have been made in this style, and at the forefront has been Yalumba, who set the benchmark with ‘The Signature’ series of wine, made continuously since 1962. Yalumba ‘The Scribbler' Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz is a youthful embodiment of ‘The Signature’ which reflects our dedication to this blend and celebrates its heritage.

Wine Information

Yalumba The Scribbler 2010 opens with a lift of raspberries, sweet spices and licorice followed by the fresh aromatics of herbs and crushed plums. This is a beautifully polished wine of medium to full body. The Cabernet Sauvignon structure defines the palate with the Shiraz cascading generously through the middle.

Written Notes

There's something inherently comforting about a "Great Aussie Red", and this example from Yalumba shows its Cabernet (57%) dominant composition with plum, mulberry and spice on approach.  

Good Cabernet structure on its medium bodied frame, charry oak and Shiraz generosity.  Initially a little raw, twiggy tannin resolves a little over time and that line of spice is the gift that keeps on giving.  Would love to see how it mellows - at the price a likely candidate to bob a few away for some time in solitary.  91 - Very Good

Inside Information

"It should be no surprise that this wine has made the grade this year. The Scribbler, the junior Signature (q.v.), is one of the finest value red wines in the whole of Australia. 2010 is a monumental red wine vintage in South Australia. 1+1=3. My kind of maths and you will see what I mean when you taste it. Just because the price seems to place it in the everyday bracket rather than the birthday dinner section of the wine rack don't be fooled. There is a fair whack of tannin and intensity here and this is certainly the finest Scribbler to date. I would even go so far as to suggest that this might be a wine to buy in case quantities and to lock away for a minimum of five years, as you would a decent Cru Bourgeois claret, and then open it for grander dinner parties than you could ever imagine. By then this Scribbler will most definitely be a competent essayist a the very least."

Matthew Jukes, 100 Best Australian Wines 2013/14, May 2013
