Cabernets 1998 Another benchmark from Coonawarra of distinctive plum colour hue, this red possesses scents of blackberry, cedar, and flowers with a hint of crushed mint leaf. It is a firm yet very refined style, fruit-driven and intense with plenty of weight and a very long finish. Cellar for up to ten years. Sommelier's Tip: Serve with roast beef. Region: Coonawarra, South Australia (Reviewed November 2000) |

Merlot 1998 This is a distinctive Coonawarra Merlot with a complex bouquet of mint, mulberries, violets, ripe cherry and spicy chocolate oak followed by a lively palate with huge flavours of berry fruit. The tannins and oak of the finish will soften beautifully with bottle age. A wine of great structure, balance and length. Lie this one down for ten to fifteen years. Sommelier's Tip: Serve with richly roasted dark meats. Region: Coonawarra, South Australia (Reviewed July 2000) |

Noble Harvest 1999 A well-made wine with a complex nose that reveals ripe apricot, honey, floral and tropical fruit aromas. It has luscious rich fruit flavours enhanced by depth and volume, which is delightfully supported by lively acids. It concludes with a clean dry finish. Keep for up to three years. Sommelier's Tip: A great wine to have with cheeses. Region: Coonawarra, South Australia (Reviewed May 2001) |

Riesling 1998 A classic made from Coonawarra. This pale coloured Riesling is deliciously critrusy, bready and floral with some toast developing on the nose. A dry style, it has a very fine balance in the mouth, concentrated flavours, with good structure and length. Great to drink now, but should also mature well. Sommelier's Tip: Goes well with Sushi. Region: Coonawarra, South Australia (Reviewed February 2002) |

Shiraz 1999 Of a rich, fruit-cakey Mc Laren Vale Style, the colour is dense and deep. It exudes developed aromas of cedar, plum, earth, spice and vanilla. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is finely balanced in the mouth, the fruit is ripe and generously balanced by oak complexity. The finish is satisfyingly long. Drink now or keep in the cellar for up to ten years. Sommelier's Tip: Serve with grilled beef. Region: Coonawarra, South Australia (Reviewed December 2001) |
