The Age names Y Series Riesling 2010 the wine of the week.

4 ½ stars - "If you’re looking for a reliable bottle of wine and you’re well off the beaten track, look for Yalumba. It’s available from one end of the country to the other and the Yalumba name is the nearest thing you’ll get to a guarantee of quality in the wine business. The Y Series often features in this column and Riesling is always a high point, especially given its remarkably low price. The 2010 opens with delicate floral, lime and gentle spice fragrances that are very inviting. It tastes intense and combines delicious freshness with enough mid-palate richness to sustain it. Great value."
