Yalumba 'Hand-Picket Shiraz + Viognier 2018

94 pts James Suckling        
The 2018 Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz Viognier is a red wine from the Barossa or Eden Valley in Australia, characterized by the bold notes of Shiraz and the aromatic, floral qualities of Viognier. Tasting notes often include blackberry, plum, pepper, violets, and floral and tropical fruit aromas, with a smooth palate, finely knit tannins, and a long finish. The grapes are hand-picked, and the wine's co-fermentation with Viognier gives it a gentle fragrance and silky texture.
