YALUMBA EDEN VALLEY VIOGNIER SAMS COLLECTION Bottle:1 Critic tasting note: (2017 vintage)

Critic tasting note: (2017 vintage) "Subtle aromas of scorched earth

The soft and velvety texture is offset by the zesty flavor

The wine is an intense red

The Oracle is decadent

YALUMBA EDEN VALLEY VIOGNIER SAMS COLLECTION Bottle:1 Critic tasting note: (2017 vintage)Yalumba has been a longtime champion of Viognier Down Under. Unfortunately, 2020 was a difficult vintage and this bottling, while pleasant, falls somewhat short. There are hefty helpings of the variety's typical ripe peach and white floral notes, along with lychees, on the nose. The palate is creamy but with enough acidity to keep it fresh. But there's a slight chemical feel to the finish and a warmth from the 14% alcohol.
