Plunkett Fowles 490m Cabernet Merlot 2008
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot excel in the Strathbogie Ranges
Assembled Into A Single Wine
You'd be mad to overlook this, the weight of fruit here is just so intense, hefty with plum and currant, subdued spice and remarkable balance. Enjoy 490m with barbequed venison snags and spitted roasts.

Barossa Langhorne
Dutschke Sami Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
At the tender age of six weeks
Samantha Dutschke Was Introduced To Winemaking When Her Feet Were Dipped Into A Bucket Of Fermenting Cabernet
Virtuous and sophisticated, gently infused by all-spice, anise and cinammon, the supple cigarbox and faint dusty oak weave within the tapestry and do not distract from some very primal cabernet instincts indeed. Blackberries dominate, a complete cabernet wine of grace and distinction.

Manjimup Pemberton
Evans Tate Gnangara Sauvignon Blanc 2010
Gnangara
Pronounced nan-gara
Tremendous flavour intensity and freshness, racy with the zip & zang that Sauv-Blanc does so very well. It keeps on delivering, a cleansing citrus acidity and lasting impressions of greenery and summer herb, finishes spotlessly clean on the tongue. A fully fruit driven yet dry and engaging, light bodied wine, highly suited to chilled early evening drinking alongside chicken pasta or grilled and basted prawns.

Velvety crimson, violet hued. Notes of kirsch and cherry, chocolatey and creamy (think black forest) earth and loam, cinnamon and cedar, raspberry and red liquorice. Ample fruit, a dash of confection here and there and good early drinking. A densely packed yet refreshing Pinot wine that's rich and moreish without being thick or heavy, perennially fine work indeed.
