Saint Clair Saint Clair Pioneer Block 2 Swamp Block Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Lifted pea pod and box hedge/armpit characters plus a medley of tree fruit and herb flavours. Concentrated and complex wine that jumps out of the glass. Not everybody's cup of tea but an excellent example of its style. 95 points Bob Campbell Gourmet Traveller Wine Gold Air New Zealand Wine Awards 2009 - "Fresh, lively and ripe with a beautiful infusion of passionfruit and zesty lime characters." Gold NZ International Wine Show 2009

Te Mata Coleraine 2007

... Te Mata Estate’s top tier reds, ... all exhibit superbly ripe fruit notes together with perfect harmony and balance. They are lovely to taste now but will cellar for many years developing spectacular complexity - I can confirm that Te Mata Estate’s 2007 reds are undeniably the best-ever wines they have made. That makes, in my opinion, Coleraine ‘07 the finest wine ever made in New Zealand. Sam Kim

Gemtree Uncut Shiraz 2008

Deep, dense colour; regional licorice and dark chocolate overtones to the blackberry fruit of the bouquet leap from the glass, the medium- to full-bodied palate providing more of the same, with 16 months in French oak doing little more than rounding off the tannins. Screwcap. 14.5% alc. Rating 95 James Halliday

Thorn Clarke Morello Nebbiolo 2006

Varietally authentic Australian Nebbiolo for under $20? Amazing! Smells really good this: loganberries, a sniff of violet, hot terracotta and really quite perfumed. Attacks forest berry sharp and sapid on the tongue, builds big, scrunchy ‘nebb tannins, which then melt at the back and mingle with the pippy fruit. - Tim White – The Australian Financial Review, 93 Points.

2007 Heggies Reserve Botrytis 242 (375 mL)

98 - BEST SWEET WHITE Penguin Wine Guide ...striking quartz minerals of the high Eden Valley amid fragrant citrus and floral nuances; cumquat, lime peel and lemons, some dried spiced pear and immaculately clean apricot botrytis nuances. Superb, breezy freshness lifts across the top. The perfectly formed palate has a smooth, rich, pillowy texture, spreading lime marmalade flavour deep through a pristine finish. Its immense sweetness is countered with discreet, ripe acidity, and the net result is a sensual joyride to sweet wine nirvana."

Tim Adams Riesling 2009

The big man has nailed it in 2009 with this intense, exciting Riesling. Superb spicy and exotic nose that shows impressive focus and diamond like clarity - it makes a very precise impression with mineral flecks. The palate is superbly crafted with musky floral estery flavour, then citrus all the way through to the fine, precise palate. Elegant and pure. 96 points Penguin Wine Guide

Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay 2007

Superb clarity and purity here, concentrated and fresh-zesty grapefruit citrus and deeply woven oak with a smart, flinty edge. The palate's seamlessly crafted and has javelin-like line and length, lemon and grilled nut flavours, gently spiced and slow to fade. Superb cut. 96 Nick Stock Wine100

Kumeu River Mates Chardonnay 2007

$ 59.99

In common with the other ’07 chardonnays, this wine is more refined on both nose and palate than the ’06. It has luxurious aromas of hazelnut and peaches while the palate has great length
and exhibits a mineral backbone which adds balance to the rich flavours. Another wine which will benefit from cellaring. Highly Recommended Winewise magazine Learn More

Saint Clair Block 6 Oh Block Sauvignon Blanc 2009

$ 27.99

Rich and concentrated with plenty of passion fruit and red capsicum flavours woven around a core of box hedge/armpit characters. Powerful wine with a touch of sweetness balanced by sweet acidity. A solid Marlborough style with character and class. 93 points Bob Campbell

Teusner The Riebke Barossa Valley Shiraz 2008

$ 20.50

... Frankly, few things delight more than Teusner’s ability to produce great-value shiraz. Fragrant raspberry and blueberry characters, ripe blackberry and chocolate flavours, generous fleshy texture and pleasing approachability make for gluggable Barossa shiraz.

Richard Hamilton Gumprs Block Shiraz 2008

$ 17.99

Stunning value. Rich, serious, smooth-textured shiraz with structure and length. Blackberries and chocolate, plums and vanilla. Touchy of warmth on the finish but nothing to worry about. A ripper.

West Cape Howe Book Ends Cabernet 2007

$ 23.99

Very good colour; a rich cabernet with abundant varietal flavour thanks to picking at the right moment and skilled blending; achieves maximum expression while only medium-bodied, for the savoury tannins will underpin long-term development. Screwcap. 14% alc. Rating 95 James Halliday Learn More

Forest Hill Chardonnay 2008

$ 24.99

Lemon, lime rind, pear and a good clip of clove spice oak. It has plenty of oomph and complexity with a mix of spicy oak and melon fruit richness that’s cut back by crisp citrus flavours. Has some savoury lees complexity, but not too much, a strong but fine acid backbone and excellent length. An all up impressive wine at a keen price. 94 points Winefront.com.au Learn More
