Sauvignon Blanc 2002 (Recommended)
Considered the leading Yarra Valley sav blanc by some, and today's taste lent some support to that theory. 2 years age has done this wine no harm; subtle primary fruit, more in the gooseberry mould, with some slighly sweaty notes. Very well structured with mild smokey oak and barrel ferment characters. Has a few years left yet.
Chardonnay 2001
Rich looking and smelling. Ripe style with strong peachy notes. Hot finish detracts from the wine, and almost needs some chill to show its best.
Mayer Vineyard Pinot Noir 2002 (Recommended)
I checked the Halliday note in 2005 Wine Companion and he is bang on. Strong style, deep red, lifted fruits on the nose. Powerful palate, deep cherry and sour / spicy notes. Fairly young I would suggest.
Pinot Noir 2002 (Recommended)
Whoaa! Big nose - meaty, deep fruited, some bacon. Shows complexity and power. Compelling aromas. Similar in the mouth but has a sharp sour edge that dominates right now. That said this character drives palate length nicely. This is a good wine.
