Yalumba is just being released to our wine stores Saturday. TN in the
December vintage catalogs mentions twice "dark plum fruit". This is
one of the smells and tastes that I enjoy the most in the Aussie Cabs
and Shirazes. I hadn't hi- lited this one for purchase but since you
have mentioned it, I just did.
