"(2020) Made by Yalumba since the early 1990s, and one of the most popular wines among the Yalumba staff. There are vine components here from plantings that span the 1890s through to the 1970s, the average age of vines for the wine has been calculated as 75 years old. A hugely juicy, again leafy and earthy style, that basil or curry-leaf component is there again, and that fairly striking tart raspberry juiciness with an axis of red fruit and acid. Tannins are a little smoother than the GSM, but it still grips the finish giving that savoury appeal."

"(1998) First bottle corked. Second displayed a nice, meaty nose with plenty of earthy, dark crunchy berry fruit. Quite lean on the palate, but a bit of creaminess to the texture too. Good concentration of succulent fruit and a spicy edge. Chewy and savoury. Lovely."

"The emphasis here is on the primary fruit, which takes on Kool-Aid tones on the nose before settling in to a boysenberry and tree bark expression in the mouth. Short-to-medium finish of Asian spice. Try with barbecued ribs. Drink now."

"The variety's raspberry and cherry fruit also features a helping of peppery spice and a hint of green leafiness in this attractive example. The mouthfeel is ample and round, the flavors fresh and fruity, turning a bit peppery on the finish. Drink now?2012."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.

"Much better than last year's offering, the '02 is a bouncy, easy-drinking Grenache, with flavors that veer more toward plum and earth than high-toned cherry, as it sometimes does. Earth plays a major role on the nose, too. A fun, please-everyone wine."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
84 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Yalumba Samuel's Collection Bush Vine Grenache" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2003 with 84 of 100 points.
"From 20-year-old vines, this Grenache isn't a lush wine?rather, its red fruit is heartily dosed in char, from the nose through the finish. The pleasant creamy-butterscotchy flavors only make the fruit that much harder to enjoy."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Yalumba Samuel's Collection Bush Vine Grenache" from the vintage 2000 with 87 of 100 points.
"From old head-pruned vines, this full-bodied red wine satisfies despite a certain one-dimensionality. The flavors are rich in cherries, the tannins are thick but fine, and the wine is very dry. It has an attractive suppleness that feels good on the palate."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
84 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Yalumba Samuel's Collection Bush Vine Grenache" from the vintage 2004 with 84 of 100 points.
"Yalumba doesn't mess around when it comes to Grenache, but this one doesn't quite hit the mark. The plum fruit is enjoyable, but the wine feels halfhearted on the palate. Needs more stuffing."
