- Redcliffe, Wine Enthousiast Lightweight and fresh, this is a crisp, peppery Sauvignon Blanc with a core of grapefruit and a touch of sweatiness to its aromas. Probably best with potent shellfish preparations, like mussels steamed in white wine and herbs. Score: 85
- Galil Mountain Winery, Tony Aspler
- Galil Mountain Pinot Noir 2006: ruby colour; minerally, violets, smoky oak; fleshier than the 2005, well balanced fine Pinot character. Best Pinot Noir tasted yet.
- Galil Mountain Yron 2004: deep ruby; cedar, vanilla, currants; very elegant and stylish, well balanced with a firm finish. Lovely.
- Galil Mountain Shiraz Cabernet 2005 (53%/47%): dense purple; vanilla oak, meaty, tobacco nose; fruity, soft red fruit flavours; easy drinking.
- Blue Fish Riesling, Wine Spectator Juicy apple and apricot flavors mingle with a touch of light spice on the refreshing finish. We love this German Riesling with spicy Thai curries. Ready to drink now.
