Winery Review: Mid crimson in color, the Yalumba Y Series Shiraz Viognier 2011 opens with alluring aromas of Turkish delight, white pepper and summer puddings – highlighting this exotic blend. The palate is medium bodied and full of juicy summer berries that lead to a supple tannin finish. Try with barbequed American style pork spare ribs or steamed pork buns.
My Review: I was intrigued by this blend out of Australia. The nose had a peppery spice with some red fruit playing around. The taste was actually pretty good with more red fruit and some heat coming through. The body was middle of the road and tannic structure was quite a delight. The finish is short. This was a nice wine with a nice price point.
