Cullen’s Kevin John remains one of Margaret River’s (and Australia’s) benchmark Chardonnays. Scents of grilled peaches lead into flavors of pineapple, vanilla and smoke, but more importantly, the palate is balanced just right. It’s not too broad, not too lean; not overly sharp, but not soft. The finish is long and harmonious.

Made in a somewhat restrained, focused style, this wine features hints of smoke combined with peach and pineapple notes to create the impression of grilled fruit aromas and flavors. It’s linear and crisp on the palate, with admirable length and mouthwatering citrus notes on the finish. Ready to drink now.

A bit reticent on the nose, showing hints of struck flint, lime and custard, but this tightly coiled Chard shows its true brilliance in the mouth, revealing complex fruit flavors of lime and lemon, but also slightly riper notes: apple and white peach come to mind. The bright core of acids shines on the long, refreshing finish. Should age comfortably through 2015…
