I have recently tasted their affordable Y Series and my notes below

Winery: Yalumba

Country: Australia

Region: South

Varietal: Shiraz Viognier

Vintage: 2008

Drink Date: up to 2013

Price: approx: RM 65 

Nice Bright Smooth Purple.  Light-Medium.  Bit of Sweet Cinnamons and Violets.  Soft.  Fragrant Bouquet with wild Berries in the beginning and finishing with Blackcurrant.  13.5% Alc 

This is an easy drinking and great table wine.  Pretty Straight forward.  Something that you can appreciate the very moment you open and enter your mouth.  Take some time to smell the fragrant and leave it in your mouth and slowly swallowing it while letting the palate take over your tongue.  Recommended proper cellaring and to drink in 2011 again.
