Cracka Review
Ring the bell and hold the phone. We don’t give away five stars that often but this wine certainly gets it. It's just a deliciously fascinating mid-weight Shiraz with earthy spicy characters and really impressive length. Far from a blockbuster, this is a very fine restrained Australian Shiraz for a very attractive price and organic too!
Winemaker's Notes
Winemaking / Viticulture: The grapes for this wine are sourced from four family owned, organically certified vineyards. The Carypides family vineyard located at Virginia in the Adelaide Plains, the Barich family vineyard on the Murray River at Loxton, the Palena family vineyards near Barmera in the Riverland, and the Strachan family vineyard in McLaren Vale.
Vintage Conditions: The 2016 growing season started well with a warm and dry spring, December and January. Cool nights during this period and rain at the end of January helped freshen up the vines before a return to warm weather in February, which led to even and healthy ripening of the Shiraz grapes.
Winemaker’s Comments: Crimson with violet hues, this wine exhibits aromas of spiced plums and peppercorns with a savoury fruit cake finish. The palate is a mix of violets and spice with hints of liquorice, lingering plums and mulberries. This is a fruit driven, medium bodied wine with fine, soft tannins and a savoury, persistent finish.
Enjoy with suckling pig and an apple and walnut salad. Vegan friendly.

Expert Reviews
Nick Stock (2010 Vintage) says
A properly-certified organic young Shiraz with plenty of vibrant and
juicy flavour – some bright red fruit and plum, really lively and soft,
sweeping playful tannins and simple, direct fleshy palate shape.

Good red wine. Not big or impressive, but ripe and flavoursome,
black-fruited and well weighted. There are no real signs of oak flavour,
it just tastes like a big handful of squished dark berries, fresh and
pure. It’s a great style of wine.

There's some reductive complexity across the top of this organic shiraz that is more often seen in cool-climate styles - it works a treat. The fruit sits in an earthy plum and berry style, all nicely lifted; the palate's juicy and lively with plenty of fine tannin and drinkable appeal. For the money, it's hard to beat!

It needs some air but it then
quaffs very nicely. Three cheers for Yalumba – they’ve delivered exactly
what (a segment of) the market wants. Cherries and blackberries with a
lick of spice. No real oak to speak of and medium-bodied at its deepest
point. Grown smart and tastes smart. You feel good drinking it.
