Brief thoughts from a visit at Xmas 2005........
Lucindale Chardonnay 2002
Fresh tropical fruit(y) style although flavours starting to get a little stale. Spicy finish.
Lucindale Merlot 2001 (Recommended)
Lively type with good fruit depth.
Emporio Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 (Recommended)
Good drop - fruit sweetness with matched with low oak build.
Lucindale Cabernet Sauvignon 2000
Sweet fruit style, a touch simple, but well maded.
Coonawarra Shiraz 2002
Soft style with gamey, woody notes. Drying out a touch.
Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 (Recommended)
Perfumed blackberry nose. Follows with similar profile in the palate. Powerful core of sweet fruit. Well made.
Francosco Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1998
Gamey nose shows complexity. Full palate, fruit and oak driven, but some blackberry fruits lurk. Going well at near 7 years but not special enough to recommend at ~$40.
