Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A solid, well-made Sauvignon Blanc from RockBare that combines aromas of melon rind and underripe nectarine with flavors of stone fruit and citrus, this is a nice wine, albeit not one that solves the mystery of what Austin Powers was missing in The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This powerful, intense wine starts with scents of lemon curd enriched by butter and hints of peach and vanilla. Flavors are similar, but incorporate a saltwater note and an extremely tangy finish, which impart a coarseness that the wine’s intensity can’t overcome.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Well balanced and clean, this is a wine for fans of a heavily oaked style with notes of vanilla and coffee dominating both the nose and the palate. Some time in the cellar will give the oak a chance to integrate more fully but there’s not enough concentration here to last more much more than a year.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tastes highly confected, with strawberry and raspberry aromas and flavors that come across almost like bubble gum or cotton candy. Dissappointing.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A fine example of the style that has come to typify Australian Shiraz, this is a round, lush wine, bursting with ripe berry and plum fruit and lashings of vanilla. There’s not a huge amount of complexity or structure, just mouthfilling fruit and oak. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A broad, weighty wine, marked by toasty, cereal-grain aromas and flavors. The fruit is relatively modest, but tends toward melon and fig, with vanilla and spice notes filling in the holes. A bit short on the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A light- to medium-weight wine, just the size and profile for a pre-dinner apéritif. Soft in the mouth; we found flavors and aromas of pear and pineapple. On the nose, there’s a nutty-toasty accent.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fairly priced, this offers a full-bodied mouthful of ripe fruit and soft tannins. Blackberry and vanilla notes are followed by hints of caramel and cinnamon in the mouth. A drink-now wine that’s easy to like.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lime, wildflower and peach flavors are wrapped in decent acids; the finish is dry and clean. It fills the mouth with fruity flavors that carry through the spicy finish.
