I first came across Yalumba with their
Reserve Muscat, as well as their Antique Tawny, and loved
them. I have had the occasional weird wild type of wine,
but this one actually tasted quite good.
I could imagine Maurice Sendak writing his
Where the Wild Things Are stories while sipping on a
glass of two of this vintage. The first thing that comes
to mind is a nice wild field overgrown with various plants,
but I even think more of being near a lake with the reeds
and the dragonflies. You can definitely get that outdoors
feeling with this one.
I would say that this wine would be perfect
for lazing in the grass and picnicing, if not chilling by
the beach on a chaise lounge, while catching a cool ocean
breeze.
The taste itself is grassy, while with a
slight twist to the citrus, almost as if you took a kiwi,
and let it sit for awhile, and then took just ten percent
of it's flavor.
You'll love this one.
