Orange/brown color.
Fresh made tea, walnut, and new oak smell.
Taste of sweet walnut pastry (not quite pecan pie), sugared ice-tea, surprisingly well-balanced with acid by the end.
Very good full-bodied sticky at $18.49/375ml.

Yalumba 2008 Eden Valley Viognier
Pale straw color tinted green.
Smells of peaches, apricots, wildflowers.
Tastes of peaches and apricots, warm alcohol finish with lemon zest, rich texture throughout.
Very good medium-bodied bottle for $18.99
What I thought of the similar 2007 South Australia bottling, a bargain at $10.99.

Yalumba 2007 South Australia Viognier
Pale greenish straw color.
Floral smell with peaches.
Tastes like the juice from a can of peaches, but drier. Nice concentration!
This is one of the nicest Viogniers I've had. For $10.99 it compares favorably with a $50 Condrieu. I'd happily, nay, gleefully buy it again.
Like Viognier in general, I find this benefits from serving at warmer-than-refrigerator temperature. They go quite bland when too cold.
