Wild Duck Creek Estate Yellow Hammer Hill | Shiraz Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 / 750 ml.

Item#: 3131

RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Mar 2024
This 2020 Yellow Hammer Hill contains Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the usual Shiraz and Malbec. It leads with a balanced, fulsome nose, with roasted meat crust, redcurrant, raspberry licorice, anise, fennel seed, black pepper, iodine and a dusting of iron. It’s glorious. The wine is satisfying and full and savory; the oak is supportive but not intrusive. It’s an all-around impressive wine that delivers flavor, texture and spice in spades. There’s good, solid drinking here. Well done! I easily recommend this for those who chase satisfying, savory flavor saturation in their wines. (Erin Larkin)

Where It's From

Country / Australia

View more wines from Australia

When casual wine drinkers think of Australian wine, they probably think of the critter-laden labels of Yellow Tail and The Little Penguin, among others. And while large wine companies dominate the Australian list, there are also a great number of smaller producers creating highly-rated, award-winning wines.

The majority of Australian wine is produced in South Australia, with most of that (those “critter wines”) carrying a South Eastern Australia appellation. Subregions such as Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and McLaren Vale are home to smaller producers and higher quality wines. Victoria and New South Wales are also significant regions, and wines from Western Australia are reaching America in increasing numbers.

Though Shiraz is the grape most associated with Australia, they’ve also had great success with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and Grenache.

The 2019 Ducks And Drakes Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe and composed, with cassis and bramble, raspberry and clove, pan drippings and pastrami. The fruit was basket pressed and matured in French oak hogsheads for 24 months (40% new). 14.8% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. (Erin Larkin)

Wonderfully aromatic, opening up to spicy accents of cardamom and Mexican chocolate, with a core of blackberry and cassis, a hint of black walnut liqueur and an appealing mouthful of polished tannins. Drink now. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported. (MaryAnn Worobiec)
