Tasting - Yalumba The Scribbler

Name: Yalumba The Scribbler
Variety:  54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Shiraz
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2011
Price: $18

Winery Review: The Scribbler opens with a savoury nose full of earthy tones followed by bloodplums, cedar and smouldering dark aromatics. This is a generous wine with great concentration and a tight frame.

My Review: This was the first of two Cab-Shiraz blends I tasted by this winery. This one was crafted nicely. Even the label catches the eye with its creative design. The nose opens with plums and cherries some raspberries. The taste is much the same with the raspberries taking more notice. The finish was medium-long. It was a quality wine but maybe a little hot that disrupted the flavor profile. Not a bad effort though.
