Yalumba Y Series Viognier 2007

A real treat. So silky and smooth, light and refreshing.

December 2008

Pale yellow and clear. I thought it had a nose of mangoes. The flavor was of tropical fruits, light and smooth. Not much of an aftertaste. It went well with a snack of white cheeses and crackers.

August 2008

Good viognier for the price. Apricot and other light fruit.

October 2008

Bright and clear, medium lemon with green hints. Pronounced aromas, savoury, bitter, citrus, yeasty. Surprisingly bitter on the palate, stalky, flat, a bit disappointing. Acceptable quality. Too high in levels of alcohol, too less fruit.

February 2009

Served slightly chilled. Apricot, tropical fruit, and an almost perfume-like note on the nose. Smooth and fairly full-bodied mouthfeel. I liked the fruit notes in this wine but overall it seemed a bit too heavy-handed of an effort, maybe a result of the 13.5% ABV.

March 2009

The 2007 Y Series Viognier has aromas of fresh ginger and candied grapefruitwith hints of white flowers. The palate is full-bodied with grapefruit andapricot flavours, and displays a persistent finish, matched with typical silkyand harmonious viognier texture. This wine will reward when enjoyed withdishes containing goats or rich fetta cheeses.
