Yalumba Shiraz-Viognier Barossa Valley 2007


Wine at my parents house is always a bit of a grab-bag. Generally, it's whatever is in the 10-15$ range at Costco. Rarely have I had anything I thought was downright shitty. This wine is all ripe berries and pepper, with a raspberry-tinged finish. Although it's not that distinctive and fairly new world, I think it's fairly good. More restrained than I expect from Aussie wine--ie not jammy--rather, balanced. Definitely prefer the Townshend--it has much more going on, but I like this too, and I'm sure it's not too expensive.
