Bob Campbell MW (BC) : 98 Points (2015)

A blend of 74% Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon and 26% Barossa shiraz. Tasted with the 2013 and 2014 vintages, this was marginally my favourite. Quite perfumed with cabernet-derived cassis, mint, cedar and olive characters together with a blackcurrant bud influence. A fine-grained and powerful wine, with an impressively lengthy finish. Steely tannins offer strong support, although the wine is surprisingly good to drink now. A terrific red (8/2020)

James Suckling (JS) : 98 Points (2015)

This is a great vintage for this wine with a very fresh, attractive delivery in a full-bodied style. Ripe red plums, blackberries and cherries with a cedary, tobacco edge, purple olives and fruit-steeped roasting herbs. It has a very intense, crisply cut palate that has flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, chocolate and such attractive spice complexity. Runs long on the focused finish. Regal. A great Caley. A blend of 74% Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon and 26% Barossa shiraz. Try from 2023. (6/2020)

Decanter (DCT) : 97 Points (2015)

This fourth release of Yalumba’s flagship Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz is opening up beautifully. Complexing seaweed notes mingle with cedar and dried herbs. Polishing the blackcurrant, berry and plum flavours to a fine sheen, the oak remains firmly in service of the fruit and, with powdery tannins, the delivery is seamless. Inky florals and perfumed cedar linger on the long, elegantly tapered finish, with its fine but firm chassis of tannins. Great finesse.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 97 Points (2015)

This is a blend of 74% Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Barossa Shiraz. It's a sleek and polished yet approachable red that screams luxury. Waves of cherry, plum, licorice, graphite, savory spices and herbs are ensconced in a subtle yet present layer of oak and wound in ultrafine tannins.

James Halliday (JH) : 96 Points (2015)

This is an impressive wine and an expensive one, clear of purpose, clarity, power, intensity and detail. A benchmark cabernet and shiraz meld: a blend that many Australians perceive as the homegrown quintessence. The oak cladding is salubrious. Well applied. Apparent, but not too much in lieu of the pummelling fruit: currant, dark cherry, satsuma plum and blue fruit references, brushed with five-spice, cinnamon and a gentle swathe of verdant herb before a finish marked by graphite and iodine. This is polished, sure. The tannins nicely wrought. But fresh, eminently drinkable and firmly of place, with a confident swagger and undeniable impact. (8/2020)

Robert Parker (RP) : 95 Points (2015)

The latest vintage of Yalumba's super cuvée—the 2015 The Caley Cabernet & Shiraz—is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra and 26% Shiraz from Barossa (mostly from a Nuriootpa vineyard planted in 1901). Aged in almost 50% new French oak (all Yalumba-coopered), it offers up scents of mint, cassis, cola and plum. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and streamlined, very much Cabernet in style. It's richly tannic and clearly needs time, possessing a long, dusty finish that features raspberry, cherry and herbal flourishes alongside subtle hints of cedar and vanilla. Rating: 95+

Wine Spectator (WS) : 94 Points (2015)

Generous, firm, concentrated and savory, this red offers mineral accents and touches of dried rosemary, tapenade and fresh loam that mingle with spiced plum, black cherry and gingerbread flavors. Tannins are firm and toothsome, adding a wonderful backbone. The finish is epic, with wave after wave of details, bringing black tea, licorice and tobacco notes in to linger.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 96 Points (2014)

Glass-staining ruby. Smoke- and spice-accented black and blue fruits, incense, potpourri, vanilla and pipe tobacco qualities on the hugely expressive, finely detailed nose. Palate-staining cherry-vanilla, blackcurrant preserve, chewing tobacco and fruitcake flavors show impressive depth and are lifted and sharpened by a spine of smoky minerality. Gains flesh and weight with air while retaining energy and finishes alluringly sweet and extremely long, with supple, slow-mounting tannins adding discreet grip. Drinking window: 2024 - 2035
