Green apple and pear with some slight florals as it warms up. With piercing acid, it is very clean but there is not much more to the palate.

150 cases produced. Nicely complex aromatics of dark cherries, autumn leaves and a little splash of spice. There is some mint after time in the glass. Still lively on the palate with good complexity, it is right in the zone for drinking from now to 2014.

Aromas of red cherries, earth and a touch of stemmy character. The medium bodied palate is impressive, with excellent acid and texture, finishing with persistence. Has really opened up since I tried it a couple of years ago. Drink now - 2016.

Dark floral aromas in the violet spectrum with smoky meaty elements and light oak. Very bright and lifted palate, it is deliciously appealing and has very good length. Drink 2014-2019.

Rosewater, red cherry and raspberry aromas. Red fruit drives the palate, there is good depth, maybe just needing a touch more acidity to be really great. Should drink well over the next 5-6 years.

This was tasted next to the 2006 Yarra Valley and they underwent the same vinification process - there is a clear regional difference evident. Aromas of mocha, dark floral notes, cinnamon and earth, Rich and deep on the palate, with great length and texture. Really very good. Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Stalks, violets and earth with some raspberry and smoke. There is generosity of bright red fruit flavour on the palate without being too forceful. Good length and good potential.

Interesting nose of vanilla, iron and graphite. Palate has nice texture and good length. The balance is there as well and it has potential to improve over the medium term.

Cloudy coloured. Appealing nose with soft florals and strawberry marshmallows. The palate has acid prominent right now but there is some fruit depth as well. Needs a couple of years to settle down in bottle.

Cloudy coloured. Perfumed raspberry, some chocolate and cherry with earth in the background. Balanced and restrained on the palate, it has the acid and structure to age reasonably well over 4-5 years.

A combination of 92% Shiraz, 6% Pinot Noir and 2% Sauvignon Blanc. Controversial and interesting nose of pepper, sap, cherry, raspberry, vanilla and grass. The palate is less in dispute, it is clearly very good - balanced with silky restrained fruit, spice and savoury earth. Textured and long. It took me a while to come around to this wine, but in the end I found myself liking it more each time I thought about it.

Mango, peach, apple and strawberry. Palate is medium sweetness (around 50 grams per litre residual sugar) with good acid and decent length. It isn't overly deep but it is appealingly tasty.
