V17. Pretty good... opaque color. Smokey nose. Substantial black cherry fruit. Black pepper, chocolate and earthy finish. Nicely balanced . — 5 years ago
Beautiful nose, great balance, medium-full bodied, rich, cellar worthy — 6 years ago
Glorious nose. Full, broad palate. Stone fruit, lees, dried apple, grapefruit and a savoury, flinty element. — 7 years ago
This wine was lost in my cellar for a couple of years until I found it a few days ago. As a 2016 I probably would have drunk this a year or two ago. Now at 9 years of age it is a wonderful Chardonnay with more complexity and intensity. More on the citric than stone fruit side. A good example of mature Yarra Valley Chardonnay. — 8 months ago


In the zone! Delicious! — 4 years ago
Legit. Fleshy but not overwhelming with vibrant acidity. Neutral oak. Great unique take on chardonnay. This is perfect for what I remember about summer days in Australia. — 5 years ago
Between Applejack and Sexton, this displays strawberries all day, with twists of mushroom funk, sandalwood spice, and red cherries. Good — 6 years ago
Awesome entry level Pinot. Tremendous value. Great uncomplicated Pinot from a ripping Yarra Valley vintage. — 7 years ago
Fantastic. Got this bottle last fall at the winery - considered one of the very best in Yarra Valley. Celebrating our son's 21st birthday and this was SO worthy. Huge fruit up front - especially for a 2008 and a beautiful dry finish. Splash of Viognier makes for an amazing nose. — 8 years ago
Oak aromas are more restrained and integrated in this Henk Vyd, fruit is a tad richer and deeper, but this also shows an excellent balancing acidity, rich fruit, long, lingering finish, I marginally prefer this to the Willowlake, but both are excellent Yarra Valley Chardonnays!! — 8 months ago
Bright fruit & good acidity. Light but quite nice with pork tenderloin for the price ($17). — 8 months ago
Round mouth feel, juicy, fruit forward, light-to-medium bodied. Low tannins, sweet. Opens up to a slight tartness. — 4 years ago
More delicate and filigree than Wombat. Traditional chablis profile - citrus, some mineral and spice from oak. Linear and focused with strong acid spine. — 5 years ago
On the improve perhaps? Really lovely. Acid ingrained with other phenolic and textural elements. Fine yet generous in flavour. Ripe stone fruit and the kernel. First class. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 — 6 years ago

A very nice, cool climate, reductive Chardonnay
Toasted sesame & cool mint on the nose. Beautiful mouthfeel, balanced, elegant with juicy acidity. The yellow stone fruit restrained but of high purity. Nice depth here.
This is so drinkable and quite lovely while showing some hints of seriousness. — 6 months ago
