Viognier, according to Jane Ferrari, is Yalumba’s “prime white varietal”; this bottling offers more toast and honey than anything that you’d see out of Condrieu. One whiff of the baked apple and pastry-crust aromas on the nose, and you’ll be sucked in. It’s medium-bodied and lively, with creamy, toasty oak and tropical fruit flavors that continue through the medium-length finish.——W.E.(5/1/2003)—— 90
