Wine Description

The Yalumba Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine true to self. Sublimely varietal, this wine always gives the drinker a pure and satisfying experience. It’s a wine reflective of the best Cabernet Sauvignon growing regions in South Australia. Not weighed down by excessive oak, the fruit and sense of place can shine. 


The tractor on the label is the essential workhorse in the vineyard, which is why we have chosen it to represent our Cabernet Sauvignon.
 

At Yalumba we believe that one good wine leads to another. The Y Series was created with that belief in mind. The Y Series represents a collection of iconic classics and exciting new varietals. Each authentically crafted with fruit from South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions.

Acclaim
“Yalumba's everyday reds tend to have a brightness and approachability about them, and this latest Cab doesn't disappoint. The nose is a lovely combo of currant and red berry backed by graphite, eucalyptus and large helpings of spice. It's bone-dry and cinched by raspy tannins, the fruit taking a back seat to lovely layers of texture and tannin. It's an excellent intro to South Aussie Cabernet.”

Ranked at #7 for Wine Enthusiast "Top 100 Best Buys of 2020"
— Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2020
“Decidedly savory, with bold rosemary and sage accents to the dense cassis and blackberry flavors at the core, leaning into peppery, cedary nuances on the finish, where the tannins firm up.”
