The dark purple wine fills the palate with a rich medley of intensely ripe fruit admixed with minerals, licorice and leather. The wine's concentration and structure dominates the midpalate.

Geoff Hardy GMH Cabernet Bordeaux Blend 2004
DON’T PAY $23.00
The release of this Bordeaux Blend -'Meritage' is a stunner!A very bold rich, brick red colour with purple hues, the nose has delightful lifted blackberry and cassis. Just like Bordeaux, since it's made with the same grapes!! There's a rich, full aroma to it. Depending on the particular blend, it can be blackberry, black cherry, spices, chocolate, and vanilla. Most Meritages have the Bordeaux signature flavors - cigar box, rich fruits, with a hefty feel. It has to be a "high-end" wine for the winery - & it has to be a blend of certain grapes. These are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot.

A huge, meaty 14% ALC/VOL Cabernet Sauvignon and rich opulent Merlot blend from the Mornington Peninsula.

Geoff Hardy 'Handcrafted' Cabernet Blend 2004
This enigmatic 'Founders Choice' Cabernet blend made me stop in my tracks! I took a deep breath and revisited the glass. The wine floods the mouth with concentrated blackcurrants and forest berries followed by savory elements and hints of mocha, held by a tight tannin tructure with fine grained cedary oak. It was disturbing to realise the depth of this Cabernet whilst still so young and offering so much more for the future. If it had been my son, I would send him straight over for the next MENSA class. This blend for the wine society of Canada is predominately Cabernet from the best vineyards and blended with some tempranillo that combines with sound smooth chocolaty Cabernet for grip,tannin and firm structure to provide an absolute bonza food wine.

d'Arenberg d'Arry's Original 2005
In its youth d'Arry's Original display a bright magenta like brick red colour.This lovely, spicy, plumy red combines the succulent sweet fruit of Grenache and the depth and structure of Shiraz.
A real charmer, with well-judged tannin grip. The nose invariably attacks with lifted spicy cinnamon plum, mulberry & prune aromas. Typically cherry, wild strawberry & lolly-like musk smells also, as well as tighter liquorice, spice, rosemary & fennel smells.
Parker rates this at 91/100 and says..."‘One of my consistent favorites from d’Arenberg is their d’Arry’s Original, and the terrific 2004 is a super value. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by beautiful blackberry, cassis, cherry, and licorice scents with hints of Provencal herbs and pepper in the
background. This medium to full-bodied, front endloaded blend of Shiraz and Grenache possesses
considerable fruit, body, and silky tannins as well as enough acidity to provide definition. Drink it over the
next 3-4 years."
Only: $16.42 (Incl. GST)
d Arenberg Grenache The custodian 2005
The appearance is vibrant with red cherry centre and looks fabulous. Upon pouring, fragrant Grenache notes of violets, ripe red-fruit jams, spice, strawberry, cranberry and mulberry characters with flowery, earthy, liquorice, pot-pouri notes developing as the wine opens up.
The palate is medium bodied, fleshy with a concentrated array of red berries, dark sweet plums,
strawberries and spicy softness. Fruit sweetness takes hold midway through the palate and then explodes with fruit flavours and lively, ripe, gritty, fragrant tannins that linger on past the finish of the wine. Presently the wine is not as big as some previous years due to the cooler growing season but it’s clearly one of the more refined and elegant Custodians made for some time.
The wine is perfectly balanced between fruit weight, level of concentration, tannins and acidity as your mouth quickly salivates for a second helping. That’s Grenache for you.
Only: $17.53 (Incl. GST)
Murdock 'The Merger' Cab/Shiraz 2005
Deep red with bright purple tinge
The nose is rich and complex with layers of blackberry fruit, pepper and spice notes, and some mocha coffee elements coming from the oak.
The palate is tight and intensely fruity with bright blackberry, blueberry and blackcurrant flavours running onto a sweet spicy finish. Excellent mid-palate structure, depth and fully ripe tannins define this wine and indicate it will reward short term cellaring

Cape Mentelle Trinders Cabernet Merlot 2005
DON’T PAY $26.99
Great to see such a balanced, attractive, clean Trinders - it's a label that's had something of a roller-coaster ride over the past six or seven years. This release is a strong one. Dusty, gravelly, herbal and yet ripe, with dry blackcurrant swinging through a fine mesh of tannin. It finishes clean and fruity, and will cellar for at least 10 years - but will be at its best in the medium term. Drink: 2006-2015. 91 points. Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront
Only: $24.05 (Incl. GST)
d'Arenberg Galvo Garage Cabernet Merlot Cab.Franc 2004
A sensational double Gold winning wine that upon release appears deep dark, garnet appearance suggests a powerful full-bodied wine. An exotic array of classical cabernet blackcurrant cassis, ripe berries, dominate your senses but with poise. Dark chocolate, blackcurrant and prune juice mix of flavours dominates with, mulberries, dark plums, cherries, mocha, lavender, cut flower stems and violets laced with spices.
The palate is tightly structured; plenty of depth with a very fine array of chocolaty tannins swirling around. A lovely smidge of fresh mint acidic background gives dryness to the
intense black / red fruit finish.
As it opens up it looks more Margaux like with its vibrant aromas crossed with Napa tannins and mid palate power and a Bolgheri finish, but its
McLaren Vale through and through.
Only: $24.62 (Incl. GST)
d'Arenberg Shiraz Viognier Laughing Magpie 2006
Once poured this wine is youthful and dark with a crimson hue. The aromas are loud and intense with the viognier having an impact throughout the wine. The wine has an initial mix of dark plummy fruits, spice and stone fruit characters with a mix of blueberries, plums, cured meats
and flowery notes with white and green pepper characters.
As the wine opens up further notes of blueberry, cranberry and lavender/black tea characters come
through with a mix of ginger and flower blossom which indicates the fragrance of viognier. The palate is juicy and long and tastes superbly integrated for such a young, full bodied wine. There are plenty of bold shiraz characters dominated by black fruits, satsuma plums, blueberry and licorice notes and a lovely level of juiciness and wild honey sweetness from the Viognier. The finish is long and pointed and would suggest this wine will greatly benefit with further bottle aging.
Only: $24.62 (Incl. GST)
Torbreck 'Juveniles' Cuvee (Stelvin) 2006
WOW! Unoaked old vine low cropped and some serious juice here boys and Girls. The extra richness and fruit flavours that David's low yields produce are stunning in this young wine with no oak to get in the way. I
If the fruit is really good enough, reds can shine without oak and you should really have a crack at these wines enjoy them!

Coriole Mary Kathleen Cabernet Merlot 2004
** 5 Star James Halliday Winery rating **
Elegance rather than puch in this superb 'Reserve ' wine. Wonderful aromas of spearmint, blackcurrant and cinnamon abound.
Although 14% + alcohol this has delightful tannin structure and will reward the patience of any Cellar manager who gives this wine the head it deserves to build steam over the next 10 years.
Only: $37.40 (Incl. GST)
Torbrecks 'The Steading' 2004
An Australian wine with obvious Rhône Valley pretensions. Its spicy, meaty aromas of violets,blackberries, plums and undergrowth are laced with a perfume of cloves and cinnamon, with underlying suggestions of cured meats. Elegant and fine-grained despite its remarkable opulence and complexity, its juicy, fleshy palate of licorice-like red and black fruits culminates in a very long and savoury finish of lingering intensity. First-rate balance and integration.
18.7, 95/100. Drink 2007–2010+. Jeremy Oliver, OnWine 02-06-2004
Only: $40.69 (Incl. GST)
Torbreck 'The Descendant' 2004
DESCENDANT
It’s made off relatively young vines but this release is the breakthrough vintage for this label – the
mammoth, concentrated, overwhelming power of this wine says anything but immaturity. It’s a monster. But an exceptionally pure monster. Full of warm, floral, plummy, porty fruit with a nutty aftertaste and a carve of finely tailored tannins. It makes you sit straighter in your chair. It is over the top, but it is as fine as such a style can be. Drink: 2012-2028. 95 points.
