Mid Lemon in colour. Nutty aromas with some orange peel and leesy notes. On the medium weight palate some restrained stone fruit flavours well integrated with the oak - well balanced. Medium plus intensity and length. Proving once again that the strengths of Margaret River are Cabernet and blends as well as Chardonnay. Chloe is the premium Chardonnay cuvée from Woodlands. — 7 years ago

Outstanding Oregon Pinot Noir. Clear pale/medium ruby, nose of well worn earth, forest floor, charred wood, cloves, cherry cola, cough syrup with faint red fruit beneath it - especially cranberry. Light tannins with more earthiness and rich red cherries on the palate. Long finish. So good! — 8 years ago

This rye has a very nice smokiness but that could be because of aging in Scotch barrels. — 11 years ago

Spiced apple, lemon curd, white peach with marzipan, nougat, marshmallow oatmeal, clove and just a suggestion of sulphides. It’s generous in its delivery, but even with full malo there’s some driving acid that drives the finish and shapes things up beautifully. — 8 years ago

The complexity of this iconic winery’s entry-level Chardonnay belies its price, with intense Meyer lemon, pear and melon character and hints of toasty lees and fennel. Juicy, seamless and pure, it also has the balance to age. (JR)

Some #delectable #PinotNoir from the #RussianRiver valley. Strawberry, red plum and red currant, cinnamon on the nose and palate. Definitely on the juicier side of pinot noir. — 11 years ago

Tonight’s nightcap 🥃

During our stay at the hospital for the birth of our son some dear friends of ours brought my wife & I a care package. In it were all manner of goodies and treats, as well as a bottle of champagne and this scotch. They know us all too well 🤫🤷🏻‍♂️

Caramel, creme brûlée, charred orange peels, and Christmas spice cake on the nose. Mild notes of moss on the palate with a pronounced but welcome warmth on the way down. Smooth and perfectly suitable for ending the day with. — 7 years ago

Wow; how maturing #margaretriver #chardonnay does vary; see recent #cullen #2009 which was brassy, this gleaming green and plenty of it; #cullen restrained, this #capementelle is butch; nose power of smoke or burnt things, bottle age nose not simple, evidence of lees/ mlf from the smoke; palate chunky, lime juice, burnt toast you taste in 30 yo Eden Valley riesling; juicy smoke; rich, not terribly drying, acid taut, 13%, AUD 35, full bodied, no apparent reason for it to fade for a while; contained power. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours — 11 years ago
