Winery - Deakin Estate
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
It isn’t the most complex wine in the world, but this Deakin Estate is a sure crowd-pleaser. Its mouthfeel is smooth, almost bright; the wine is creamy until the very end, when toast and licorice flavors coat the back palate. Cherry, dark berry and vanilla flavors prevail in the mouth.

Has smoke and pear aromas, with pear and anise following through on the palate. Its feel is lean and wiry; finishes with a bright herb or mint accent.

Very fragrant and tropical on the nose. In the mouth, this Chard offers the same pear, banana and other tropical fruits spread broadly across the palate. Its texture is a little thick, but at this price, this wine more than does its job. Imported by Freixenet USA.

On the nose, melon meets oaky, meaty notes. On the palate, yellow melon flavors fall into a white peppery, fresh-herb finish. Not a powerfully concentrated wine, but just right for porch sipping.

What a bargain-priced Sauvignon. Its backbone is pure lemon—pith, peel, the whole fruit. It’s pretty straightforward, but it has dryness and crispness on its side, all wrapped in a dusty envelope. Imported by Freixenet USA.

Smells like wheat biscuit and grape jelly, with purple fruit and toasty wood following up on the palate. Good but straightforward. Imported by Freixenet.

Grassy and slightly pungent, showing the distinct aromas of underripe Muscat, but the delicate texture—it’s lightly sparkling—and sweet flavors win out on the palate, balanced by a fresh, citrusy finish.

A good quaffing wine, this Chardonnay is showing yellow fruit aromas, accented by white pepper and a little vanilla. The palate has citrus flavors and a smooth, if a little bulky, body. Imported by Freixenet USA.

Sweet and fruity, with a slight prickle of carbon dioxide and bright flavors of pineapple and tangerine. Fresh and clean, but drink up.

Follows a cooler-climate profile, offering light fresh herb aromas and tangy black and blueberry flavors. Its sturdy, chalky mouthfeel is pretty nice, too.
