One of Yalumba''s top cuvees is their Cabernet/Shiraz blend called The Signature. Creamy American oak aromas cascade from the dense purple-colored, superb 1996. However, in the mouth, the oak is completely absorbed by the wine''s meaty, smoky, blackberry and cassis flavors. As it sits in the glass, notes of melted asphalt, dried Provencal herbs, and additional jammy red and black fruits emerge. Full-bodied and lush, it should drink well for at least 10-12 years.
