Yalumba- The Scribbler

Yalumba's -The Scribbler
This bottles hold no surprises- in a good way. It's from an outstanding winemaker, and from a excellent region-Barossa Valley. I picked up a bottle on my way to my mother in laws house for mother's day. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, I have heard good things about Yalumba, and of course being from the Barossa Valley was a plus. The wine is a Cabernet/shiraz blend and will cellar for five to ten years from the vintage.
Needless to say the mother in law was impressed. She just told me today that she ordered 3 bottles and was excited to go pick them up. At $25 a bottle, its also a good value for what you get
The flavor was quite good, and it was quite smooth. Very easy to drink, and the tannins were light. That makes it an A+ in my book.

I would definitely recommend The Scribbler to anyone  who is interested in a premium, well made, easy to drink wine. And the fact that it is ready to mature over the next 5 to 10 years is an extra bonus that makes it collectible.
