Pale clear yellow/gold Quite lemony on the nose. Good density and persistence on the palate. Dry and carrying it's barrel ferment with wild yeast well. This over delivers for price to quality. — 2 years ago

Wonderful! Just enough tanins to be interesting, but not out of the way crazy in your face.

Great as a day drinker or as a accompaniment to pizza or something with grease.

Will be getting a number 3 soon! — 5 years ago

I was surprised how nice this was. As good as a $50 premium wine. Finished after open for a week and it was silky smooth. — 5 years ago

Lemon grass, honeysuckle, tropical fresh fruit on the nose. Classically Southern Hemisphere Sav Blanc (51%) aromas. Palate has more weight, hinting at the Semillion (49%). Acidity and weight are in balance. Finishes well with lemon and grapefruit notes. — 9 years ago

Nice levels of restraint; black berry, medium bodied, balanced acid. Fresh finish. This isn't going to blow you away with complexity but is eminently drinkable. — 10 years ago

Like a lazer shooting Xanadu right into your brain. Glorious, rolling, disco light beauty. I drank this and my hair feathered and I was backlit. — 11 years ago

This wine is a steal. Great aroma— like a cab should have. Fruit forward but well balanced. Long delicious cab finish. I visited the winery a few years ago while birdwatching in Australia. Beautiful vineyard and chateau . Got this wine on last bottle site. Look for it at under $20. Thanks Rob for tip about last bottle. I have to visit some day!! — 4 years ago

Dense crimson. Slightly jammy nose. Black fruits. Medium-heavy cab of medium length. Lacks the finesse of cheribino/ xanadu et al. Fruit ladden front and mid palate. Dense tannic finish. Balanced enough and may be better in a few years but too jammy and not well enough integrated currently. D3 update: beautiful, seemless, jaminess gone. 94 (from 92-93) — 8 years ago

Very different to the Xanadu Chardonnay I had yesterday. One of my favourite Aussie Chardonnays. Brilliant light gold in colour. White peach, some struck match, fuller palate. Delicious. 18. Tasted again on 10 July 2016 with similar notes. Very intense and very delicious. 96 points. — 10 years ago
