Athon's Review:

Very pale in colour. Strawberry aroma. Cherry, very well balanced, super easy to drink.

Athon's Review:

Spicy nose, cinnamon, tobacco, coco, meat, pepper. Orange marmalade, chocolate, cassis. Ready to drink. Very complex flavours.

Athon's Review:

2002Very deep colour. Violet earthy nose. Leather, plum cherry. Jammy taste. Harsh tannin but not big. Excellent balance, fast finish. Should age nicely. Classic Aussie!

Athon's Review:

BIG RED ZIN, no mistaking it!Plum, violet, black cherry. Meaty, mellow, nutmeg, cloves, blackberry, tar, fruit-hit, but not a monster California Zin. ready to drink and quite well behaved.

Athon's Review:

Great nose; creamy, anise, asian pear. Light minerality, sticky mouthfeel. Little oak on the finish.Simple wine with a fantastic aroma.

Athon's Review:

Muted floral, peach, bosc pear nose, hint of vanilla. Creamy, a little heat, smooth lingering finish. Typical California Chardonnay, but good example of the value genre. This wine is a steal at $4.00!

Athon's Review:

Beautiful Color!Pale, floral nose. Surprisingly a little spicy and tannic. Grapefruit. Slight bitterness, but not unpleasant. Fast finish, super palate cleanser. Bone dry.

Athon's Review:

Classic nose, dirt, red currant, mulberry. Medium finish. Wicked good with food.My wife says it's an acquired taste...and hated this wine...more for me.

Athon's Review:

14.5%, big off the get go. Dark Crimson, hint of meat. Overload on the taste, had to stop again for a few minutes, can't quite describe it, a Tempranillo on steroids. Excellent example.

Athon's Review:

Orchid, hint of Bourbon, huge floral nose. Sharp, tangy and creamy. Large Finish.
