Laanecoorie  Bordeaux Style Blend 2006

“The 2006 Laanecoorie is a complex blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc, dry grown on north-facing slopes just north of Maryborough in the broad Bendigo goldfields region of Central Victoria.  The vines are hand pruned and hand picked, only estate-grown fruit is ever included in the blend and the resulting wine represents a faithful expression of its individual site.  The 06 is one of the very best vintages ever seen in the region,  a year when nature was kind enough to provide full flavour ripeness at moderate sugar levels.  The finished wine has excellent structure and holds a rich and deep measure of red and black berries with hints of earth and dried leaves; the tannins are dry but gentle and add length to the palate . While it has a cellaring future of at least a decade, the 06 is remarkably drinkable and satisfying right now”.

McQuilten’s Reserve Shiraz 2006

Another great vintage for our shiraz resulting in a classical style more reminiscent of the Upper Rhone than previous years.  Deep red to purple in the glass; instantly engaging red and black berry fruits to sniff and savour with well measured spicy oak and fine, long tannin finish.  Overall, a gorgeous expression of Central Victorian Shiraz which is remarkably approachable as a youngster but will be even better after a few years in a cool cellar.
