This wine may not be quite as rich or expressive as the other Viogniers in the Yalumba stable, but it's still an attractive effort. Pineapple and apricot flavors pick up hints of gingery spice on the vibrant finish. 

My Review: A very pleasant and full smelling white, especially compared to the whites that I've tasted previously on this blog. Crystal nectar color. There is definitely a lot of floral action with apple going on in the nose possibly also accompanied by an earthiness. The taste seems to focus on orange blossoms. Overall pretty balanced in the aftertaste that gets hotter in the back of the mouth with some spice towards the end. Overall pretty good with a lot going on but all making sense.

Tasted without food.
