Welcome to the continued musings of the Wine Taster of Greenfield.  I taste it, and drink it, so you don't have to....unless you really like it then of course, buying it would come under your purview.  We continued Saturdays tasting by turning our attention from "Shoo Fly"  to Shiraz and before you know it we'll be sharing sea shells by the sea shore.....Sorry, I have spring break on the brain......back to the tasting.  
Yalumba, the oldest family owned vineyard in Australia,  delivers quality wines vintage to vintage and has done so for over 150 years.  This particular wine is grown from 30-50 year old vines from the Barossa Valley.  The final product is 95% Shiraz with 5% Viognier blended in to actually soften and enhance the color of the wine (a little French trick).  This has always been a favorite wine for me because at under $20, it delivers a mouthful of dark cherries, plums and fruit flavors that are well balanced with a nice, easy smooth finish.

Enjoy this wine at your favorite upcoming family gathering or just as a nice way to end the day.  After all, finding a great wine at a great price, so close to home is a delightful way to to end any day......especially those days ending in "Y".

As Always,
The Wine Tellar
