Not as good as Yering’s Shiraz-Viogniers have been, but still a good wine. This vintage offers a nose full of amaretto, green herb—and, with some time, black and green pepper. On the palate the wine is on the thin side, with high-toned cherry and herb flavors. The soily-smooth texture is its high point. Imported by Epic Wines. ——D.T.(12/1/2005)—— 85
