"Lemon thyme, anise and green apple on the nose. A spicy, focused midweight that offers tangy citrus, pear and deeper melon flavors, along with a subtle herbal note and very good mineral cut. Becomes juicier with air and finishes dry, with a strong echo of citrus and herbs."

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Lodge Hill Shiraz gives notes of black cherries, blackberries and black plums over freshly cracked black pepper, dried Mediterranean herbs and lavender. Medium to full bodied and with very crisp acid, it fills the mouth with vibrant berry flavors textured with a medium level of fine grained tannins, finishing long and a little herbal."

"Fresh and vibrant, this graceful white is soft in texture, with pear and lime flavors that linger easily."

"Yalumba The Scribbler 2010 opens with a lift of raspberries, sweet spices and licorice followed by the fresh aromatics of herbs and crushed plums. This is a beautifully polished wine of medium to full body. The Cabernet Sauvignon structure defines the palate with the Shiraz cascading generously through the middle."

"This crisp red shows density and depth to the blackberry, licorice and pepper flavors, which play against firm tannins on the spicy finish."

"This red is smooth, round and focused, delivering a juicy mouthful of blackberry, currant and spice flavors, with a hint of mint chiming in as the finish lingers enticingly."
