Yalumba, South Australia (Australia) Shiraz – Viognier 2008

 Generously flavored and yet quite classy, this shows aromatic delicacy and exceptionally soft texture, with 8% Viognier likely playing a role in those characteristics.  Minimally oaked, this is all about ripe, juicy fruit, with just enough tannin to structure the ripe flavors of black and red raspberries.  This would be wicked good with spicy lamb.
