Hugh Hamilton proves that Yalumba’s success with this tricky variety isn’t a fluke, offering genuine Viognier expression at a realistic price. Ripe muskmelon and apricot notes leave a round, full-bodied impression on the palate, finishing with musky spice. Drink now. ——J.C.(5/1/2011)—— 88

Nice Viognier for the price, blending hints of honeyed toast and citrus with melony fruit and peppery spice. It’s mouthfilling without being oily or opulent, balanced to pair with salmon or swordfish.——J.C.(9/1/2010)—— 88
