A quick view of current releases....................Booths are venturing into the trade market for the first time in at least 5 years. All wines will be priced under $17 and in the main offer solid value.
Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 - Recommended
Modern medium bodied style. Sweet fruits and soft tannins....what's going on here? Not super serious but has some obvious appeal.
Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 - Recommended
Nearly identical to the 2002 but just a touch lighter. Flip side is the wine is a little more accessible.
Chardonnay 2004
Massive poached pears on the nose - very attractive. Falls away in the palate, with hard acid grip dominating any fruit flavours. Transforms into a generic dry white.
Premium Shiraz 2002
Rich, ripe nose. Some porty notes but not overdone. More of the same in the mouth. Sugary, some licorice, more dry port action. Not my kinda wine but will appeal to fans of the blockbuster style.
