Longview 'Block 11' Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
(95 POINTS - Tony Love, The Advertiser Food & Wine)
"Deeply ripe Cabernet aromas, cassis, liquorice, earth, festive spices, some dried herb and leaves. The oak contributes a veneer of sweetness and it builds nicely with aeration. The texture is striking, super smooth, almost creamy entry, supple, rich and ripe with mouth filling cassis flavours and good weight. Toasty oak pushes up through the finish, velour like tannins drawing a long focused finish. This is a sturdy robust Cabernet."

Standish 'The Relic' Shiraz Viognier 2004
(99 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"More exotic and flamboyant than the Shiraz, but equally profound is the 2004 Shiraz/Viognier The Relic (93% and 7% respectively, cropped at .5 tons of fruit per acre, and aged 20 months in old French oak). An inky/purple-colored, powerful, full-bodied, rich red, it possesses a huge, sweet nose of blue and black fruits, flowers, and subtle oak, a blockbuster mid-section, and an amazingly long finish. More approachable than the 2003 Shiraz, it can be drunk now or cellared for 15 or more years. Dan Standish is one of the Barossa’s up-and-coming superstars, and his wines merit serious attention."

Thompson Estate Chardonnay 2004
(18.3/20 - Jeremy Oliver)
"Scented and summary, the 2008 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc has deliciously vibrant aromatics that infuse the tropical fragrance of fresh passionfruit and juicy pineapples with garden-fresh basil and tyhe spiciness of crushed tomato leaves. The palate is long and succulent, cobining exotic fruits with ripe, red capsicum and a twist of green olive... beautifully complimented by crisp natural acidity and hint of lime zest"

Kay Brothers 'Block 6' Shiraz 2001
(96-98 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"The 2001 Shiraz Block 6 Amery Vineyard is built along the lines of the 1998. With 14.8% alcohol, and huge levels of tannin balanced by a wealth of blackberry and cherry fruit intertwined with sweet notes of compost, smoke, camphor, and earth, this massively full-bodied, dense, opaque purple-colored effort is Shiraz at its most concentrated. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. Patience!"

D'arenberg 'The Coppermine Road' Cabernet Sauvignon 1998
(95 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"Readers looking for sensationally concentrated, yet well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that can be drunk now or cellared for twenty years should check out the 1998 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon. It boasts a dense purple color as well as an exquisitely pure nose of cassis, oak, earth, cedar, and spice box. Full-bodied and powerful, with a seamless personality (because of the melted tannin), this large-scaled, classic southern Australian Cabernet Sauvignon can rival the world's finest Cabernet Sauvignons. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025."
