A definitive one for me is the Longview Shiraz/Viognier 2004, which should price out at around $20-25. Freaking phenomenal! But the Yalumba is a good wine for the money. Jill, yeah, I think I'd have to be treated to a taste of the 300% better hand-picked Yalumba offering wine before I bought a whole bottle! All of my experience with them is their Y-Series, which I find very reliable. I'm loathe to spend the cash on the higher-end wines of what I consider value producers, I admit.

Could it be 3x better? probably not... From what I hear, the “hand-picked” Yalumba Shiraz-Viognier is much better, though it’s priced accordingly (about $30 a bottle).

Your post makes me want to try one not just out of interest, but also out of taste. I will have to seek out a Yalumba, sounds like a great wine for the price. Thanks for the report.
