Sandalford

Sort By:

Sandalford 1998 Shiraz

Price $24

Sourced from the cool-climate regions of Margaret River and Mount Barker, this full-bodied Shiraz boasts plenty of peppery aromas, but also eucalyptus, sour cherry and dill. Shows more leather and caramel on the palate, finishing with soft, dusty tannins. — W.E. (7/1/2002)

points

Sandalford 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Barker & Margaret River)

Editors' Choice

Price $22

It’s toasty from 17 months in French oak, but the wood is well balanced by cassis and the nose picks up some lovely hints of anise with air. Straightforward black-currant and vanilla flavors flow smoothly across the tongue. Soft tannins and low acidity make this a Cab that’s meant to be enjoyed now. Editors’ Choice. — W.E. (7/1/2002)

points

Sandalford 2001 Chardonnay

Price $21

A full, rich, woody style that emphasizes toast, vanilla and butter. Imagine sliced peaches doused in melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar. Finishes thick and oily. — W.E. (7/1/2002)

points

Sandalford 2001 Riesling

Price $17

This peach- and pear-scented wine was bottled with screw caps so you needn’t fear TCA. Baking spices accent simple peach and pear flavors in this medium-weight Riesling. Finishes dry and stony. — W.E. (7/1/2002)

points

Sandalford 2000 Merlot

Price $24

Somewhat weedy on the nose; then shows a lot of overripe cherries on the palate, along with baking spices like clove and cinnamon. Soft and pleasantly chewy. — W.E. (7/1/2002)

points

Sandalford 2001 Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc

Price $16

Scents of smoke, green vegetables and pungent grasses; flavors of pink grapefruit and green pepper. It’s a little soft, yet green-tasting at the same time. — W.E. (7/1/2002)

points

Sandalford 1997 Shiraz (Mount Barker & Margaret River)

Price $23

An intriguing wine. Shows some very positive aromas and flavors including spice, earth, black pepper, cinnamon and clove. However, a prominent grapefruit/cranberry element on both the nose and in the mouth is disarming. Shows good mouthfeel and balance. A very different take on Shiraz. — W.E. (4/1/2000)
