2007 St Hallett Poachers Blend
86 points
Medium bodied on the palate. Great fruit. Apples. Nice. Really clean.
Tried later on and not as excited about it. The riesling component came out, and also a little sweetness.

Bright, but the nose is rather rich. Medium bodied. Kind of like a St. Jean knock off. Fine.

2008 St Hallett Gamekeeper's Shiraz Cabernet

Sweet. A little too much. This is going more for the gob factor. Tastes kind of fake.
Red
2005 Domaine Houchart Côtes de Provence Rouge

I was going to say this wine has seen better days, but it looks like based on the last review that might not be the case. Really thin on the mid palate. Not a lot here.
