James Halliday Reviews and Ratings


In the 90’s ….
James Halliday  Review & Ratings
We continue to get good ratings by wine aficionado James Halliday and we are thrilled!  His 2013 wine companion will be out in August. www.winecompanion.com.au
2010 Pinot Meunier – Rating 90
Light, bright, clear crimson-purple; a very good attempt at table wine with this variety; spicy, savoury nuances do not come over the top of the red fruits (cherry, strawberry and raspberry) at its core.
2006 Mary Friend Premium Bordeaux Blend – Rating 91
A distinctly savoury complexity runs through the wine, impacting on the array of red and black berry fruits of both bouquet and palate, the latter supported by fine tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cabernet Franc.
2010 Pinot Noir – Rating 92
Very good, bright purple-crimson; a well-made, light-bodied pinot with strong varietal expression on both bouquet and palate; red and black cherry with some spice and French oak nuances are the drivers of a well-priced wine.
2011 Sauvignon Blanc – Rating 93
Pale straw-green; has a highly expressive bouquet and an equally intense palate, both with a virtuoso display of blossom, herb, citrus, asparagus and gooseberry; a hint of sweetness on the finish adds to the pleasure of the wine.This wine received a Silver Medal at the  Federation Sq Regional Showcase  held in April and is now eligible  for entry to the Victorian Annual Awards to be held in August. Another win
