Pettavel 2004 Evening Star Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon (Geelong)
- $17
This wine isn’t too thick in the middle, but packs a wallop around the edges, coating the mouth with zingy lemon and lime flavors. Its chalk-dust texture is its best feature. Imported by Guardian of the Grape Imports.

Pettavel 2004 Evening Star Riesling (Geelong)
- $17
Though the style of this Riesling is juicier, more overtly fruity and somewhat heavier than is typical, the unusual combination still works here. Its medium weight is tempered by good acidity, and the palate’s peach, tangerine and honeyed flavors are balanced nicely by lemon and orange peel. 200 cases produced. Imported by Guardian of the Grape Imports.

Pettavel 2003 Evening Star Chardonnay (Geelong)
- $17
This Chard has spice and whitepepper aromas, and a warm but comfortable tropical fruit, nut and spice profile on the palate. Drink now. Imported by Guardian of the Grape Imports.

Pettavel 2001 Platina Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc (Geelong)
- $25
This 50-50 Cab Sauv-Cab Franc is a good wine, but doesn’t quite live up to the winery’s whites. Smells sweet but pleasant—think berry basket and Sweet Tart—and offers similarly straightfoward flavors. 500 cases produced. Imported by Guardian of the Grape Imports.

Pettavel 2002 Platina Chardonnay (Geelong)
- $25
Wood weighs heavily on this wine, which means that you’ll love it or you won’t. Smells like baked apple pie, and on the palate, apple fruit has a tangy, sawdusty wooden feel to it. Didn’t have the acidity that a wine like this needs. Imported by Guardian of the Grape Imports.
