Winery - Long Flat
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This medium-weight Cabernet shows true to its terroir, with hints of mint or eucalyptus adding a medicinal edge to the bright cherry fruit. Fully dry, but soft and rounded on the finish.

Derived from Grant Burge’s own Barossa plantings, this soft, enveloping wine boasts expressive black cherry and plum flavors and a subtle hit of vanilla. Not hugely complex, but satisfying.

Nearly a Best Buy, this Riesling offers early drinkability relative to many of its Clare cousins. Mixed citrus and crushed-stone aromas mark the nose, while the medium-bodied palate finishes long, with what seems to be a touch of sweetness. Drink now–2010.

A light, crisp Cabernet-Merlot blend, with slightly weedy flavors of red cherries that seem to darken and deepen slightly from sip to sip. Finishes tart. Comes in a one-liter Prisma Pak.

This wine’s residual sugar is apparent, but it’s still a pleasant, moderately priced offering. Smells like smoky vanilla, and is full and soft on the palate with peach, apple and nectarine flavors. Closes with a snap of citrus.

Soft and fruity in the mouth, the Long Flat has plum and coffee flavors, and a nose that sports black pepper, toast and an orange-liqueur note. Finsihes with a sour herb, or metallic note, but it's fleeting. 5,000 cases imported to U.S.

Long Flat, once an entry-level tier of Tyrell’s in the Hunter Valley, is now a brand of its own, sourcing fruit from a wide range of GIs. The Coonawarra Cabernet is soft and plushly textured, with hints of roasted fruit, leather, mocha and tobacco. Drink now.

Light in weight, but there’s a creaminess to the texture so it doesn’t come across as thin. Sour cherry and beet flavors add resiny, herbal and charred notes on the finish.

This fruit comes from Cheviot Bridge shareholders, with the wine made at Yering Station. Lightly toasty, with hints of vanilla and sweet corn to the Golden Delicious apple flavors. Turns citrusy on the finish.

Floral and citrusy, with hints of lime sherbet and orange blossom on the nose and ripe pear and citrus flavors. Fairly full-bodied and soft, with a dry finish and more weight and texture than expected.
