Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There’s not much body or intensity to this Shiraz-Cab, and what’s here is pretty odd. Aromas and flavors run the gamut from sautéed mushrooms in gravy to lifted fruit to Blow Pop. Confused. Imported by The Australian Wine Connection.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very toasty on the nose—with air, some fresh produce shows through. Wood dominates the palate, too, obscuring peach fruit underneath. Imported by Australian Wine Connection.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Floral, peachy aromas are understated. The palate has a melony, peachy shell and a lightly creamy, almost oily, center. Goes down easy. Imported by Australian Wine Connection.

Wise Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc - 2004

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This weighty blend of mixed tropical fruit and citrus ably answers the call for fresh fruit, unadorned by oak. Balanced and fresh, this would be a nice wine to sip on its own at the start of a meal.

Wise Chardonnay - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Herbal almost to the point of vegetal, with aromas of tobacco or tomato leaf backed by citrusy flavors and a crisp, grapefruity finish. This is a distinctive wine, one that may have its fans, but I suspect they’ll be in the minority.

Wise Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine has some pretty strawberry and red raspberry aromas and flavors, but the bulk of its interest lies in its oak-derived elements of clove, cinnamon, cedar, menthol, coffee and chocolate. Wood-lovers will rate it higher.

Wise Shiraz - 1998

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Wines from this part of Western Australia are usually worth a look. This one qualifies, with its fine mouthfeel and good intentions. But a strong bell-pepper streak in the nose and palate is too dominant; would be better with bolder, sweeter fruit, because the winemaking seems good.

Wise Cabernet Sauvignon - 1997

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very bright, even sharp, this unoaked (Aquercus means without oak) Chardonnay reads very much like a Sauvignon Blanc. Aromas of grass, lime and grapefruit, like flavors, and a lean, crisply acidic profile make this wine appealing, but quite different from the archetype Australian Chardonnay Americans are used to. Great zing, but a different thing.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Wet stone aromas underlie more prominent vanilla, butter and toast notes on the nose, while the palate shows orange, apple and pineapple flavors. The full body is shot through with brisk acidity making for a lively finish. Overall, an impressive package. Serve with flavorful ocean fish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A blonde wine: soft, pretty and light. It feels like soft peach fuzz and tastes like musk, its aromas brimming with brisk tropical fruit. Gets tighter and more floral toward the finish, where there’s some Band-Aid. Imported by Australian Wine Connection.
