Deep garnet-brick colored, the 2002 The Signature (Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz) reveals notes of crème de cassis, menthol, spice box, dried Mediterranean herbs and beef drippings with hints of leather and cigar boxes. Rich, multi-layered, spicy and solidly structured, this medium to full-bodied beauty packs in the fruit, finishing long and savory.

The 2002 The Signature (56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Shiraz) was given the same upbringing as its young sibling, but 2002 is a better vintage for Yalumba. The 2002 exhibits smoky, blackberry, incense, charcoal, and floral characteristics along with tremendous glycerin, richness, purity, and teeth-staining levels of extract. Remarkably, there are no hard edges, and the acidity, tannin, and alcohol are beautifully integrated. This cuvee should drink well for 15 years.

Bright red-purple; a medium-bodied, refined mix of black and red fruits; supple, fine tannins and a warm creche of vanilla oak around the fruit. Drink to 2015.
