Defintive Reasons For the Enjoyment of Good Red Wines
 
Langhorne Creek / South Australia / Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz
An invigorating cab/shiraz with a touch of mineral, a serve of sour cherry, made savoury by a shave or two of pencilled oak. The palate is essentially fruit driven, possesses fine structure and makes excellent early drinking. Fully reliable for its rich sweet fruits over supportive oak and auspicious Langhorne Creek tannins.
Great Southern / Western Australia / Cabernet Sauvignon
Alluring scents of blackberries and cassis with curls of freshly planed cedar/ oak lead onto a weighty palate of more luscious dark berry characters and black licorice, classically structured and tightly wound. An accord of gummy, supportive tannins and cranberry acids, the finish long and everlasting.
Kangarilla Road Shiraz 2009 / ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
McLaren Vale / South Australia / Shiraz
Here's a wine you can take home to mum or a night out for dinner. Tannins like velvetine chocolate with heady aromas of blackberry, pepper and cherry. I love the fundamental syrupyness of textures in this, and the milk chocolate expressions of oak. A good match to hot pots and roasts.
Houghton Shiraz 2009 / ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Great Southern / Western Australia / Shiraz
Captivating bramble and raspberry, pepper and licorice nose before a firm but mellow palate immersed in fruit, embellished by ornamental spice, delicate leaf and dusty herb.

Frankland / Western Australia / Shiraz

Coonawarra / South Australia / Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc
Leconfield have always made the grade from day one. Masters at cabernet sauvignon and beacons of the Coonawarra. This charmer serves to spellbind and to ingratiate, from first sight it grabs the attention with it's vibrant colour, irradiating cassis and nutmeg scents, followed by firm, elegant blackberry flavours. Long, limpid and very together, it's finely grained oaks delivering depth and elegance.
/ South Australia / Shiraz Merlot
Deep red, purple hues and fine, creamy mousse. Dark berries and plum, raspberry and cherry aromas followed by subtle coconut spice. A rich and full, even palate, generous with ripe berry flavours, cherry and chocolateyness over velvety ripe tannins providing structure and length. A luscious sweetness offset by crisp, fresh acids and toasty background oak, finishing with a lovely persistence, it's just fantastic.
Coonawarra / South Australia / Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Consistently over delivers. Offers plenty of ripe, fleshy red and black fruit characters over a carriage of firm but juicy tannins. It's all mince and cherry pie, plum and soy with hints of wafer and vanilla oak. The generous finish lingers on a note of black cherry and plum flavours.
Langhorne Creek / South Australia / Shiraz
Perceptibly alluvial Shiraz, finely groomed, made genteel by punnets of berry and sour red fruits. Soft and velvety smooth, brought to a long finish by relaxed, earthy tannins, it's ready as a young wine to guzzle with sirloin, lasagna or lamb.
Tassell Park Cabernet Merlot 2008 / ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ½
Margaret River / Western Australia / Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Mulberries, currant and regional leaf over a sufficiently drying palate of brittle tannins, gorgeous french vanilla oak and dusty, old world, bouquet-garni finish.
Yarra + King Valley / Victoria / Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Juicy, wet and exciting, Windy Peak's cabernet merlots may not be X-rated, but the satisfaction dial has certainly been turned up to the max. All the while you're soaking up those velvety tannins, your nose and mouth are getting some full throttle plum and chocolate fruit, strawberry and sultry coconut oak. A splendid red wine, anywhere, anytime.
Yarra Valley / Victoria / Cabernet Sauvignon
Smooth, soft and silky textures, hand in glove with subtle and integrated tapioca oak to deliver a fully integrated wine of great length. The flavours are mouthfilling, clean and well defined with blackcurrant notes to the fore complemented by the crunchy tannins and creamy oak, the piquant acidity and strolling tannins accompany the gorgeous black fruit characters effortlessly towards a long and persistent finish.
Barossa / South Australia / Shiraz
Recognizably Barossa for it's hearth of smokey fruit and savoury reductions on the palate. It blooms as it breathes, engulfing the air with plumes of boysenberry and pastille, scented oak and flattering tannins. Pious and pristine, God's Hill will tug at the heart of the Barossa enthusiast.
