Yalumba - Wine Spectator Advance	Yalumba Y Series Viognier	2019	90	Jun-2020
Review “Generous and fragrant, with orange blossom, melon, pear and ripe peach flavors that are succulent, refined and very refreshing, finishing with a touch of fresh chamomile.” (Best Value)
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba The Virgilius Viognier	2017	91	Jun-2020
Review “The nose of this wine is fruity but delicately so, wafting stone and orchard fruit, citrus blossom, honeysuckle and fresh ginger. The palate is compact, set for aging into a more honeyed creature over the next eight to 10 years, its slippery texture sliced by acidity.”
Yalumba - Wine & Spirits	Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier	2017	91	Jun-2020
Review “If you’re looking for something to pour with your veal chop, this wine’s ripe peach and pear-like juiciness would be a refreshing match. There’s some tannic structure to take on the meat, and a clean spice that lasts, ready to meld with food. It’s firm, juicy and rich, an example of Louisa Rose’s talent and expertise with viognier.”
Yalumba - Wine Enthusiast	Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier	2017	90	Jun-2020
Review “Samuel’s Collection is the newest range in Yalumba’s vast stable of wines, and thus far it has proven itself with a gaggle of solid, characterful and affordable wines. The viognier doesn’t disappoint. A heady nose of lemon-lime, orange peel, stone fruit, honey and flowers, with an underlying mineral note that adds a little complexity. The mouthfeel is slippery with lifted acidity, bright, concentrated fruit and a slight spiciness. The most complete wine in the brand’s Viognier range, ready to drink now.”
Yalumba - Pull That Cork	Yalumba Y Series Viognier	2018		May-2020
Review “Medium yellow in the glass with aromas of asphalt, white flowers and citrus. Flavors begin with citrus and ripe melon along with hints of white flowers and cut hay. The wine has a bit of roundness, nice acidity and a medium+ finish. Luxurious is the word that comes to mind to describe this Viognier, more like a cashmere sweater than a cotton knit, because of the roundness and palate-coating quality of the flavors. It’s a brilliant food wine and the floral notes come forward a bit with food. 100% Viognier is gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel using wild yeast. The wine remained on the lees for three months.”
Yalumba - Wine Advocate	Yalumba The Virgilius Viognier	2017	89	May-2020
Review “The style of Virgilius has evolved considerably over the years, with recent versions much tighter and more focused than early ones, which tended to emphasize richness and weight. Yalumba's 2017 The Virgilius Viognier shows plenty of peppery-gingery spice and floral elements on the nose, but it's only medium-bodied, with a relatively lean, pineapple-accented palate and a hint of bitterness on the finish.”
Château de Saint Cosme - Wine Enthusiast	Condrieu	2017	93	May-2020
Review “Notes of apricot and white blossom build from nose to palate in this voluptuous Viognier. Concentrated peach and orange-cream flavors undulate on the palate, rimmed by heady vanilla and anise. This is a bold, flashy sip, anchored by a pleasant bite of bitters on the finish.”
Yalumba - Wine Spectator	Yalumba The Virgilius Viognier	2017	92	Apr-2020
Review "Succulent white peach and dried apricot flavors are elegant and distinctive, showing restraint and a wonderfully smooth, succulent body. Precise details of nutmeg and litsea essential oil linger on the long, expressive finish.”
Yalumba - TEXSOM International Wine Awards	Yalumba Samuel's Collection Eden Valley Viognier	2018	Bronze	Mar-2020
Review
Yalumba - Washington Post	Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier	2017		Feb-2020
Review “Viognier is sometimes derided for its lack of acidity. Yalumba, however, has managed to capture acidity and suspend it in perfect balance in this wine, with sweet floral notes of honeysuckle on one side and spicy ginger plus tart refreshing guava on the other.” (2.5 out of 3 stars)
