Tasting Notes - Balnaves Cellar Door

Brief notes from a visit to the cellar door just after Xmas in 2005........

Chardonnay 2003 (Recommended)
Classy style, as per usual, with plenty of fruit depth and all wine making tricks present.

Cheeky Red Rose 2005
Nice sweet style. Simple but very effective for the target market.

Cabernet Merlot 1997
Museum release only available at cellar door. Mature style, fruit is very settled, perhaps fading, but the palate is well structured.

Cabernet Merlot 2001 (Recommended)
Very good - spicy fruit and oak with powerful liquered fruits.
