Tasting note

It's a wine of restraint and balance and finesse - so it deserves to be served at the dinner table. In fact, Yalumba winemaker Louisa Rose tries to make all the Yalumba reds as if 'you've got a glass in one hand, and a piece of food in the other'. I like the sound of that, and like the taste of this. It tastes of kirsch, raspberries and toasty oak, and finishes with a delightful lick of licoricey tannin. Drink 2009-2013. Score - 90.
