1998 Yalumba 'Reserve' Cabernet Shiraz
The Reserve represents the finest twenty barrels of red wine from the cellars of Yalumba and is made only in exceptional vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from South Australia’s Barossa region were blended to create an extraordinarily intense wine of great richness and harmony with a structure that will reward patient cellaring. Aged in barrels, seasoned and coopered at Yalumba, the wine is rich in chocolate and mocha flavours.

An awesome wine, only made in the greatest vintages, is the limited production 1998 Shiraz/Cabernet The Reserve. A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Shiraz aged 22 months in small foudres as well as French Bordeaux barrels, is truly great stuff. A black/purple color is accompanied by gorgeous aromas of sweet saddle leather, blackberries, creme de cassis, melted licorice, camphor, and graphite. Full-bodied and pure with a massive, layered mouthfeel, this striking 1998 should drink well for 20-25 years.
