Coldstream Hills 2007 Pinot Noir (Yarra Valley)

Slightly smoky and peppery upfront, the 2007 Coldstream Hills Pinot Noir opens on the palate to reveal a velvety texture and flavors of plum accented by hints of coffee and chocolate. Opt for drinking it over the next 2–3 years.

Coldstream Hills 1998 Sauvignon Blanc (Yarra Valley)
- $17
From winemaker James Halliday comes this sharp, herbaceously-scented wine suggesting grapefruit, grass and hay, with an undercurrent of smoky oak. It’s strongly flavored, with focused lemon-lime fruit and sharp acidity. This clean, refreshing wine demands food; goat cheese would be heaven.

Coldstream Hills 2002 Pinot Noir (Yarra Valley)
- $18
It’s a just-right Pinot, not too tart, not too big, and not too fruity. Bing cherry flavors are wide in the midpalate, where there’s just enough oak. Oak and earth show on the finish. Definitely food-friendly; try with a mushroom dish, or fleshy fish.

Coldstream Hills 2003 Chardonnay (Yarra Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
This is a nicely balanced Chardonnay, one in which no single element dominates. The fruit is mellow, tending toward the soft flavors of melon and pear, while the oak is deftly handled, imparting smoky notes that frame, not overwhelm. A harmonious, medium-bodied wine that could pair easily with various chicken dishes.

Coldstream Hills 2001 Sauvignon Blanc (Yarra Valley)
Grassy and herbal, with grapefruit and a sense of soft, brushed leather. Grapefruit and lime flavors finish long and tart.
