2006
Mosquito Hill Chardonnay @ $12.00…
15 years ago, over a few glasses of truth serum the maker told me
he’d one day make a wine exactly like this! Tight, flinty fruit
presents in a medium bodied palate punctuated with piercing acidity
– very Chablis. … screwcap
2008
Penny’s Hill Red Dot SSB @ $10.00
ticks all the boxes for this blend, tropical fruit and fresh
asparagus over a refreshing, crisp cleansing palate.
Buy 6 and we’ll chuck in a Tyrrell’s SSB for FREE
2008
Bird in Hand 2 in the Bush SSB @ $16.00
is being served at Wimbledon this year, not surprising given
that BIH comprises a team of master viticulturists, a top winemaker,
and a Master of Wine. This is fantastic, crisp and dry wine;
showcasing superb Adelaide Hills fruit … screwcap
Bonus BIH Rose on 6 bottles
2008
Bird in Hand Clare Riesling @ $20.00
offers a brilliance and clarity of fruit with
lemon
and lime on the nose and a fresh, lean palate supported by cleansing
acidity – delicious right now but worth cellaring … screwcap
Bonus Brian Barry Rizza on 6
2007
Lost Valley Cortese @ $19.00
is a real treat for lovers of the aromatic. This is medium bodied
and bursting with aromas of nashi pear, citrus and orange blossom. A
cult hero with big wraps in the wine press and on pour in Qantas
international first class by the glass … screwcap
2005
Jacobs Creek Reserve Chardonnay @ $13.00
is fantastic - rich, smooth and mealy, with very
youthful colour and acidity. Softly textured and creamily inviting,
Bill ‘n’ Ben might just liken it to flobba dobba fun. 5 gold medals
to date.
Bonus Clairault gold medal winning Chardy on 6
2008 Wirra Wirra Riesling @ $15.00
sourced 100% of the fruit for this wine from the cool climate
Adelaide Hills. This edition is tight and fighty, full of green
apple crunch,excoriated
by molten swashes of lemon and lime. Intense and well suited to a
plate of fresh oysters. Should cellar magnificently. 94/100 from the
Wine Front.
Buy 6 bottles, receive 1 Brian Barry Riesling FREE
2008
Crowded House Sauvignon Blanc @ $15.00
is at the complex end of the SB style
guide.
Thanks to multiple picking dates and yeast strains, passion fruit
presents counterpoint to the green herbals we take for granted. Lees
stirring in tank has insinuated a softening creaminess and textured
complexity …screwcap
Take 6 and we’ll include a Tyrrell’s SSB FREE
2007
Zonte’s Footstep Viognier @ $12.00.
Viogniers ain’t Viogniers, often too oily and
cloying
to satisfy -better raised in the physical commissioning of ships
than in celebratory toast of launch. But like the nursery rhyme,
when they are good they are very, very good and this is a fine
tinctural adjunct to celebration. It has citrus blossom and apricot
fragrance, natural fruit sweetness and a zing of drying, tea like
tannin to finish … screwcap
Buy 6 and we’ll include a 500ml bottle of the zippy Two Hands
Moscato FREE
2006
Jones Rd Jr. Jones Mornington Chardonnay @ $14.00
is another one of our great Mornington
discoveries. The nose is complex (figs, nuts and cream), the palate
weighty, with new oak playing a supporting role … screwcap
Buy 6 and we’ll send you a BIH 2 in the bush Chardy for FREE.

2007 Pike & Joyce Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc @ $14.00

lots of mouthwatering greenery and acid … drink now or
cellar for another 12 months … screwcap |
2007
Bird In Hand 2 in the Bush Chardonnay @ $16.00
is beautifully balanced, light on its feet but
serious - with fine but compelling fruit. Think Peter Allen
auditioning for ‘Keating the musical’... screwcap
Buy 6 and we’ll send you a Clairault gold medal winning Chardy on

2008
Bird in Hand Rose @ $18.00.
Sour
cherry and strawberry of the pinot match well in this elegant wine
featuring fine acid, vibrant redcurrant and strawberry fruit- Great
for a Sunday arvo thumb-twiddle. Goes nicely with Wimbledon too
apparently, having been selected 3 consecutive years of service
there – go Lleyton, (maybe) … screwcap

2007
Mosquito Hill Willunga Pinot @ $14.00
Here’s a pinot that balances richness with a sense of wiry
suave which we reckon is a good thing when it comes to pinot. This
one is rich and clean with excellent red fruit flavours along with
black cherries, spritely acid and fine but firm tannins. Who said
you can’t get excellent Pinot for less than $25 … screwcap
2006
Vincognita Cabernet @ $18.00.
Made by Chris Dix and called Vincognita because
Fox
Creek didn’t want the world to know that their winemaker was making
this fantastic kit. Chris has since moved on, hence being able to
reveal his identity. This is top cab grown over ironstone soils. It
offers blackcurrant, tobacco leaf, cassis and liquorice. Swarthy yet
refined and an each way bet for drinking now or cellaring … screwcap
2006
Bullseye Shiraz @ $14.00
offers
blackberries, chocolate, coffee and a hint of white pepper. Aged in
good French/Yankee oak for 16 months post basket pressing, this is
big with lively fruit, excellent mouthfeel, intensity and length.
Another Chris Dix / Vincognita production … screwcap
2006
Tim Adams Bayes Block Cabernet @ $14.00.
This is a new addition to the Tim
Adams
stable but by no means a blind pick for a mug punter. Full bodied,
this offers a good spectrum of Cabernet flavours and excellent
length.
Buy 6 and we’ll include a delightful Willows Barossa cab valued at
$26 FREE
2006
Tim Adams Bayes Block Shiraz @ $14.00.
As above, a new addition to Tim’s portfolio, 100% Clare and a

2005 JJ
Hahn 1928 Shiraz @ $30.00.
This is a fantastic expression of Barossa Shiraz. Fruit is ripe and
generous, the pallet complex, long and lingering. Oak is beautifully
supportive. Awesome … cork Take 6 and we’ll include a JJ Hahn
1914 Shiraz
valued at $60 FREE.
"The 2005 Shiraz 1928 is
opaque purple-colored with an expressive bouquet of cedar, pencil
lead, mineral, violets, tar, blueberry, and blackberry. This is
followed by a medium-to full-bodied wine with gobs of ripe fruit,
spicy black fruit flavors already exhibiting complexity, a
harmonious personality, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Drink it
over the next 10-12 years".
eRobertParker.com # 173. Oct 2007
2005 JJ Hahn 1914 Shiraz @ $39.00
is a
rich ripe wine with superb fruit intensity and balance. Just a tick
richer and more intense that it’s younger brother, the 1928, this
wine is lip smacking right now, but will reward careful
cellaring…cork.
Take 6 and we’ll include a JJ Hahn 1928 Shiraz valued at $50
FREE.
2004 JJ
Hahn Reginald Shiraz Cabernet @ $15.00
is a bargain - ripe fruit and lovely
mouthfeel make this a good buy at $15 … cork

Innocent Bystander Good Dog Bad Dog Red @ $10.00
Warm, red berry fruit and a fine tannin
structure. Worth pairing up with a still bleeding steak, complex for
its price point … screwcap
Take 6 and we’ll also chuck in a Poets Corner Merlot FREE
2007
Gemtree Uncut Shiraz @ $17.00
This vintage, the 07 is a ripper. Yields were substantially down
and the resulting wine is concentrated, thick and complex. Will
improve for 10+ years if cared for … screwcap
2005
Bird in Hand Nest Egg Cabernet @ $54.00.
Nest Egg bottlings represent the best
wine
BIH has to offer each year. This offers saturated cab fruit in the
just ripe and fully ripe spectrum, the effect on the palate is one
of beguiling complexity with violet and herbal characters giving way
to plum and chocolate.
2003
Tim Adams Fergus @ $17.00
Last
stock of this excellent, succulent drinker. Soft, ripe and
satisfying, especially when served with a range of smoked meats …
Buy 6 and we’ll include a Rainmaker Shiraz Grenache (from the famed
Redheads studio) FREE
2005
Tim Adams Cab Merlot @ $17.00
is a dark horse. Already 4 years old it is just beginning to emerge
from slumber. Give it an hour in the decanter before drinking and
you’ll see a strapping but lean beast emerge from its repose. Once
wild of nostril, frothy flanked and angular it now offers fine
aristocratic aromas, a healthy satin sheen and lean but rounder
figure - ready to race and absolutely delightful. Flavours are of
blackcurrant, violet and plum …screwcap
2008
McWilliams Select Series Shiraz Cab @ $10.00
Here’s an honest quaffer, clean and medium bodied with good
fruit and a waft of spice. Good mid week with yesterdays leftovers.
Ease into the armchair, whack on the Ashes and toast Mitchell
Johnson cutting an ugly and harmful swathe through the old enemy!
