TASTING NOTE: Yalumba's Eden Valley Viognier bottling rivals the brand's Virgilius bottling in varietal expression, even if it's not as ripe or rich. Gingery spice and floral notes bring a dimension of complexity without oak, and the wine's fruit remains citrusy, fresh and focused through the long finish. Editors' Choice. Score - 92 (Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 1, 2017) |
