How privileged am I to be able to walk through the vineyard and taste the flavour in the fruit right off the vine. Magnifique! Anthony Johnston Ogilvies Expresso Bar |

FIVE STAR Reserve Hunter Valley Chardonnay Reserve Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2008 Bright pale green; a model of restraint and finesse, the citrus and white stone fruit flavours having as much cool climate as warm; the new French oak used in fermentation and maturation has simply added a light touch of cashew. Gold medal Hunter Valley Wine Show 2009 and Sydney Wine Show 2010; Screwcap; 12.3% alc.; Rating 94; Drink 2013; $20; Date Tasted Feb 10 James Halliday
Gold Medal - Two Rivers Stone Throw Semillon As per usual, (this year and last year - which now qualifies as 'usual') I have spent the last two days tasting (and drinking) the wines that were submitted to the 2010 Macquarie Group Sydney Royal Wine Show (mouthful). As usual, it's a massive undertaking, with over 2200 different wines entered from several hundred wineries, but I took one for the team and attempted to taste as many relevant & interesting wines as I could. Gold medal; Two Rivers Stone Throw Semillon 2009 (Hunter Valley, NSW) Clean, grassy Semillon with rounded fruit flavours and a quite broad palate. Nice and generous though just a bit short for higher points. 16.5/88 Andrew Graham The Tasting (day 1) www.ozwinereview.com Sunday, February 14, 2010
Verdelho doesn't come much better Hidden Hive Hunter Valley Verdelho 2009 What a vintage '09 was: glorious fruit flavours and intensity across all white varieties, and this is no exception - really long, vibrant, fruit-filled finish. Verdelho doesn't come much better. Screwcap. 13.5% alc.; Rating 94; Drink 2013; $14; Date Tasted Feb 10 James Halliday Tasting Notes
