YALUMBA THE OCTAVIUS SHIRAZ 2009

The Octavius 2008 is sourced 59% from Barossa Valley Shiraz and 41% from Eden Valley Shiraz from a number of faithful Yalumba growers. The result is a wine that is dark crimson red in colour with aromas of concentrated plum, clove, dark coffee and chocolate. It hits the mouth with ripe plum and blackberry sweetness and finishes long and stylishly. This wine will continue to improve in the long term.
