Sirromet 2002 Seven Scenes Chardonnay (Queensland)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $30
Has a creamy quality on the palate due to its 12 months on lees, but it’s still a light-handed, delicately styled wine. Peach and pear nuances are at its core. Doesn’t shout; it whispers.  — D.T.  (11/15/2006)

Ballandean 2004 Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc (Granite Belt)

  1. $13
Comes from a vineyard in Queensland that is 850 meters above sea level. Smells like white chocolate and juicy peaches, with peach and lemon taking over on the palate. It’s soft in the mouth, with the lemon contributing some sourness that lasts through the finish. Imported by Downunder Imports, LLS.  — D.T.  (12/1/2005)

Ballandean 2002 Shiraz (Granite Belt)

  1. $13
One of the few Queensland offerings we see stateside; this one has cool plum and coconut-candy bar aromas, with plum flavors persisting through. Its pulpy, newsprint-y texture is a detraction. 1,200 cases produced. Imported by Downunder Imports, LLS.  — D.T.  (12/1/2005)

Ballandean 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Granite Belt)

  1. $13
This wine is fragrant and concentrated, but its flavors are sour enough to make it almost difficult to drink. Has musky, men’s cologne aromas, and sour plum plus stalky greenness on the palate. Tannins are thick and sawdusty. Imported by Downunder Imports, LLS.  — D.T.  (12/31/2005)
