Callanans
Road Pinot Noir 2000
This
lovely wine from Tuck Ridge vineyard is delicious, light, and easy-drinking. Its
nose displays sweet black cherry aromas, subtle toasty oak and damp earth. The
palate is a cracker balanced by chewy weight with firm rich tannins, density and
a generously smooth, fruity finish. The wine will age well for at least three
years. | |
Red
Devil Cabernet Merlot 2002
This
delightful classic blend of cabernet and Merlot displays a pale, crimson red colour.
Squeeze your nose into the glass and smell the generous bouquet of raisins with
overtones of warm raspberry, spicy stew and dried cherry fruit. This cabernet
blend is a smooth, easy-drinking red with heaps of ripe fruit, elegance and lovely
balance at the finish. A great, fun wine.

| Brini
Shiraz Grenache 1999
Yet another stunner wine from an impressive
vintage from Brini vineyard and the marriage of two king grapes from McLaren Vale.
This big, solid, weighty red is loaded with confectionary red berry stewed fruit,
earth, spice and coconut oak aromas. The pleasing palate is loaded with attractive
sweet berry and licorice flavours. Of fine harmony and persistence, it is lovely
now and should age well for five years or more.

This marvelous, fruit driven style, has a powerful concentration of blackberry,
plum pudding, mint and forest floor complexity the nose. The winemaker has emphasized
the flavour to produce a wine with deep, concentrated, sweet blackberry amd jammy

oak combined with ample smooth and sweet tannins on the finish. This classic Pinot
Noir will give plenty of rewards over the next few years.

Fermoy
Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1999
Selected from the best bunches of grapes in the vineyard, this top-notch wine
from the Margaret River region is made to be cellared. This rich, attractive wine
has a reddish-purple hue with sweet raspberry, blackcurrant and mulberry fruit
scents mingled with crushed eucalyptus leaf and dark chocolate aromas. The wine
has been made with care and aged in hand picked oak barrels to perfectly develop
the exceptional complexities the wine possesses. The palate displays great elegance
and depth with an abundance of voluptuous raspberry fruit flavours, soft tannins
summing up with a deliciously well-balanced, lightly spiced after taste. Keep

special friends.

of Ponds Amadeus Cabernet Sauvignon 1999
Here is a delightful sample of our Australian, cold climate reds. Made from a
promising vintage, this elegant style possesses a delicious cocktail of mulberry,
eucalyptus and blueberry scents on the nose. This medium-weight style exudes a
rich, smooth, yet complex fruit compote on the palate and finishes with delightful
sensations of subtle oak combined with well structured acid. This beauty is made
to reward well with age.
Sommelier's Tip: Serve with grilled spatchcock.

Storm
Ridge Pinot Noir 2000
A deliciously perfumed, ready to drink, Pinot. This remarkable wine smells of
snappy cherry and stewed strawberry fruit, well combined with subtle, spicy oak
and some pine, mushroom complexity. The palate offers rich, light to medium-bodied
fruit, full of strawberries and cherries. The soft and succulent flavours are
balanced by gentle tannin and spicy oak at the finish. A real charmer that drinks
well now.
Sommelier's Tip: Serve with fried beef and noodles.
