JM 1ST APPROACH

Tagged as the “baby brother” to their flagship Vat 47 chardonnay, the Moon Mountain has soft white peach and melon aromas with some nutty nuances shining through. With a creamy mouthfeel, ripe peach, nectarine and subtle biscuit flavours, this refined chardonnay is all about the fruit, with some added flavour from a mixture of new and seasoned French oak.

Bright colour and bright personality, combining black and red fruits with a splash of sage and cedar; the palate is medium-bodied, sweet-fruited and ample, providing simple pleasure in spades. 90 points James Halliday

Savoury spice, earth aromas turning to liquorice and plum jam; richly fruit-sweet, fleshy, concentrated. Marvellous for this price and worth cellaring. 14.5 per cent alcohol. 93/100. Huon Hooke
... savoury Moroccan spices and fresh earth, plus traces of licorice and plum jam. Soft and fruit-sweet in the mouth, it has an abundant fleshy texture, good concentration of sweet fruit, and a firm tannin grip to finish. A serious red for hearty food, and for cellaring. Gourmet Traveller Wine

Exceptional cabernet from the Great Southern. So deep and dark in the glass. The aroma is pure concentrated cabernet essence showing such power and finesse. The palate has excellent structure with grainy tannins and fine grained oak supporting the opulent rich cabernet. Will keep on improving.  – 96 Points Ray Jordan. WA Wine Guide 2013

Deep straw colour, with a pale green hue. An intense combination of cashew, butter, honeycomb and stone fruit characters. Medium palate weight with a rich and creamy texture. Peach and nectarine fruit flavours are perfectly complimented by toasted nuts, honey and a persistent and flavoursome finish.

Made by the unflappable Javier Murua. Almost entirely tempranillo but co-fermented with a smidge of grenache. Sees a small portion of old French and American oak. Elegant yet characterful and then punchy through the finish. Has structure. Has a big dry finish. Licorice and cherry and twiggy sinewy almost-bitter notes. Chicory too. A grunty wine. Will be a handy drinking option through the cooler months. Like it. 90 points Winefront

A modern, ancient, new wave, old world wine of real class and style ..... A polished but characterful red. Flavours of charcoal, raisin, cedar and ironstone. Medium-weight but ripe and generous. Feels modern, balanced, soft on the tongue. ... It's an excellent north-east Victorian red blend. 93 points Winefront.com.au

berry jam and spice introduce a full-bodied wine and emphatic tannic structure. Wow. (Screw cap; 14.5 percent alcohol.) Ageing? Yes, from two to 20years. 93+ points Ralph Kyte Powell
Excellent fragrance, polish, guts and length. Ironstone, blood plums, smoky/musky oak. Thick chains of grunty tannin. Handsome wine. Flavour floods through the finish. Stories and ratings aside, this is my most preferred of the initial Eldorado Road offerings. 94 points Winefront.com.au
