Hill Smith Estate Chardonnay 2015, Wild Ferment, Eden Valley, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$21.95
This is a very fine Chardonnay in a lightly oaked style. Med to full bodied with ripe tropical fruit, excellent mouth feel and some persistence on the finish.
Wynns Coonawarra Estate Shiraz 2015, Coonawarra
South Australia, Australia$23.95
I am a fan of Sue Hodder. This is my first time with the Shiraz, but it seems to me to reflect her style: pitch-perfect fruit married to bright acidity, approachable but with plenty of depth. Meant to keep this in the cellar for a few years, but it didn't last that long!
Tawse Spark Limestone Ridge Organic Sparkling Riesling 2020, VQA Twenty Mile Bench
Ontario, Canada$20.95
Moillard Cuvée Prestige Rully 2015, Ac
Burgundy, France$28.95
Nice med red colour, quite deep for PN. Nose is a bit reserved, with hints of red berry fruit. Quite rich on the palate, solidly mid-weight with nice tart fruit notes (cranberry) and some spice for complexity. Good persistence. Enjoyable now but I suspect will reveal more in a couple of years. Good value in the world fo Burgundy but for a true PN drinker; not a party wine!
Lanciola Le Masse Di Greve Chianti Classico 2013, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$23.95
Traditionally styled Chianti marked by dried fruit and earthy flavours. Quite pale and ambering at this stage. At its peak and not for the long term. Found at bin end for $19 which seems a fair price. Would not have been happy to pay original $24.
