Sort By:

Strathewen Hills 2004 Tribal Elder Shiraz (Yarra Valley)

Price $70

Smoky and meaty, this is aggressively savory in style, but really evolves with air to show a gentler, raspberry-fruited side accented by dried spices. It’s medium- to full- bodied, with a slightly creamy texture and silky, mouthwatering finish. Terrific cool-climate Shiraz. — J.C. (12/1/2008)

Strathewen Hills 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Yarra Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $30

A crisp medium-bodied Cab with good varietal definition, Strathewen Hill’s 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts slightly minty cassis-inflected fruit, vanilla and chocolate notes and a smooth mouthfeel. Supple tannins on the finish suggest this will age well through 2012 or so. — J.C. (2/1/2008)

Strathewen Hills 2005 Merlot (Yarra Valley)

Price $30

Pretty robust in style for Merlot, with the ripe black-cherry fruit framed by plenty of structure. There’s a minty or resiny note to the aromas and flavors, which imparts a slightly medicinal edge to the prolonged finish. Drink now–2012, possibly beyond. — J.C. (10/1/2008)
