The Story
The Caley Museum Release 2018 from Yalumba is a blend of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Barossa Shiraz. It's described as a very deep, dense red with expressive aromatics of blackcurrant and dark cherry, along with cool iodine and savoury notes. The palate is powerful, concentrated, and full-bodied, with a long finish and a silky tannin profile. A 2023 review notes the wine retains a purple hue, fresh, bold bouquet of forest-floor/mint and dried-herb, and deep-set cassis fruit. It's considered a magnificent wine, well-suited for aging.
