| 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.   |
