Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This comes across as a bit restrained on the nose, showing only hints of lemon curd and vanilla wafers, then ratchets up the intensity on the palate, where it displays bold citrusy flavors limned with a touch of vanilla. Medium-bodied, it finishes fresh and vibrant, with enough crispness to pair with shellfish.

Tyrrell's Chardonnay - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Light on both flavors and aromas, this is just the style of wine you’ll want as an apéritif or with seafood. Light citrus aromas are followed up by firm white stone fruit flavors and a crisp, lean mouthfeel. Plumps up a bit on the finish.

Tyrrell's Sémillon - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A fresh, food-friendly wine and a good value, the Old Winery Chardonnay has passion fruit, papaya and fresh herb flavors, with a light nougat aroma on the nose. On the palate, it’s gravelly, and maybe a little spritzy. It’s not a full, creamy, toasty blockbuster—but that’s part of its charm.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The Old Winery tier always has reliably good wines, and this middleweight Chardonnay is no different. It smells of pineapple and lemon meringue, with pineapple, plus pear and vanilla, following through on the palate. Finishes with tart lemon pith.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The nose shows well-restrained oak that manifests itself as musk, or sandalwood. It has a rich, oily texture—a little slippery, but nice—and powerful, unusual fruit (passion fruit, maybe?). A nice, unexpected style of Chard.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Buttered toast and vanilla scents lead the way, buttressed by peach and citrus. It’s medium-weight and smooth in the mouth, with a long finish that boasts echoes of orange and lemon.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Aromas are of black fruit and bread flour. On the palate, the alcohol is a little noticeable, but the plum and oak flavors are harmonious and tasty. A nice value.

Tyrrell's Shiraz - 2001

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fits the Chardonnay image to a T, with descriptors like smoke, clove, cinnamon, apple and citrus all coming readily to mind. It’s fuller-bodied than some past vintages, with pineapple and vanilla flavors on the palate, and a long, crisp finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A sturdy wine, sporting plenty of roasted cherries and caramel on a medium-weight frame. Turns strongly sour on the finish, where the flavor of charcoal dust also intrudes. —J.C.

Tyrrell's Pinot Noir - 2000

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A very nice wine that’s zesty and fresh in the mouth, and deep gold in color, the Vat 47 offers bright yellow fruit flavors, with light vanilla, toast and citrus accents. Nose is alternately perfumey and toasty. Tasted twice.
