Yalumba Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Yalumba Y Series Cabernet Sauvignon is Cabernet with its tie loosened slightly - full of juicy red plum, blackberry and violet, with savoury herbs and fine tannins giving everything shape without making it feel overly serious. Yalumba keeps the oak firmly in the background, allowing the South Australian fruit and classic Cabernet character to take the lead. Smooth enough for an easy weeknight glass but structured enough for meatballs, mushroom lasagne or anything from the barbecue, this is a dependable red that knows exactly what its job is.

What the winery says:

Deep crimson in colour, with aromas of juicy red plum and violets balanced by savoury Mediterranean herbs. The palate is full and sweet-fruited, finishing with the distinctive tannin and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, with brief skin contact before wild fermentation in stainless steel and a minimal-intervention approach that keeps the fruit clear and expressive. Vegan friendly.
