2012 Yalumba “Y” South Australia Viognier
14.5% alc., $9.49, screwcap. Imported by Negociants USA
Inc., Napa, CA. Yalumba has quite a reputation for Viognier, but this is their entry level offering. Yalumba is
Australia’s oldest family owned winery.
·
Light golden color and clear in the glass. Marked reduction upon
opening with strong burnt match aromas. Soft and pleasing on the palate with flavors of lemon curd, grilled
pineapple, and mango. Much better two days later from a previously opened and re-corked bottle with no
reduction evident and more vivid tropical fruit flavors, although still somewhat dilute.
Score: 86.
