| | Tasted by FullerFamily on 3/17/2014 & rated 78 points: The quality of these bottles have swing wildly from some of our favorite shiraz glasses to almost undrinkable. The last two bottles were just disappointing. Hmmmm (3212 views) |
| | Tasted by Yankee on 5/20/2013 & rated 89 points: On the nose there's dry smokey wood, syrupy blackberry, green pepper & anise ~ On the palate it's big round & juicy with flavours of black cherry, jammy plums, black liquorice & vanilla ~ Easy to drink & easy to like this one (4216 views) |
| | Tasted by yofog on 4/20/2013 & rated 70 points: Medicinal plum and greenery, mag-wine taste, pretty terrible, actually. We opened a second bottle just to be sure, and that one was just as bad. (4318 views) |
| | Tasted by noshooz on 3/19/2013 & rated 88 points: A very smooth blend of shiraz and one of my favorite whites, viognier. Good fruit on the shiraz, with the crispness of the viognier in tandem. (4618 views) |
| | Tasted by wrmccall on 11/2/2012: This ia a nice blend of mostly shiraz with some viognier added. The result is an easy drinking wine with berries and some minerality noted. I would expect this to mature into a really excellant wine if you want to wait. (3602 views) |
| | Tasted by Rupasov on 10/29/2012 & rated 88 points: Очень приятное, яркое, свежее вино за крайне разумные деньги.
Почки черной смородины, слива, дубленая кожа, чуть дымка. Вкус с яркой кислотностью и с ядреной смородиновой нотой и шероховатыми танинами, но в то же время идеально округлый и мягкий. Послевкусие среднее, терпкое, ягодное.
Симпатично! 15.5/20 (2608 views) |
| | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/24/2012: Greener than I remember, but full of fruit and juice. Works it out at $12 or so. (2039 views) |
| | Tasted by danielbleier on 10/10/2012 & rated 86 points: no detailed notes, drank this over several days. Floral nose, tastes of plum and dark cherry. Decent fruit and acidity - good QPR. (1908 views) |
| | Tasted by bianca15 on 7/28/2012 & rated 88 points: Another great Yalumba Shiraz. This is a step up from the basic and its very full flavored and smooth. The 5% Voignier is the key. Buy again. (1617 views) |
| | Tasted by vijay0129 on 7/26/2012 & rated 87 points: Plummy tart and fruity (2339 views) |
| | Tasted by Zoltán Németi on 7/21/2012 & rated 88 points: There is an Old World touch to this wine, a sense of restraint. No oak, no over-ripeness. Lots of fruits on the nose, sweet blueberries, black currants, and some syrah spiciness. On the palate it's medium to full bodied, with medium acid and a nice, smooth texture. Very fruity in the flavors as well, and slightly saline. Tannins surprisingly low, though that seems to be an Aussie standard (just to compare, even a little Beaujolais Villages is more tannic, especially in relation to the wine's body). The finish is a little hot, but overall, such a well made, nice wine. Drink now. (1526 views) |
| | Tasted by xorgnz on 12/29/2011 & rated 87 points: Big Gaming Week 2011 (Tony's place): Interesting - this was my first Shiraz / Viognier blend. Strong cooked fruit flavours, with a little spice. I got plum pudding, blackcurrant jam, a little clove. Seemed to develop well over the course of drinking (30 minutes or so). (2449 views) |
