Sunday Lunch with Roast Lamb. Deep Ruby in colour - very dense. A very Margaret River Cabernet - nose with herbs and a little mint. Barb thought a bit of capsicum (bell pepper) on the nose. On the medium bodied balanced palate the tannins are quite soft yet persistent. Leeuwin Estate better known for its outstanding Art Series Chardonnay has been working hard with the red varieties and it shows. — 9 months ago


Nicely aromatic & restrained (for Australia) with purity of dark fruit (blackberries, plums, mulberry), nice depth and excellent tannins quality - juicy, polished, finely grained.
Very elegant & with beautiful balance between the ripeness & savoury notes.

Pretty Golden in color.
Nose of apples, light yeast, peaches, minerals, spices and light herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and soft bubbles.
Dry on the palate with limes, light grapefruits, herbs, earth, minerals, yeast, light brioche and white pepper.
Long finish with limes and sea salt.
This is a delicious Sparkling wine from Oregon. Rich and fruit forward. Easy drinking and complex. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Feels like Champagne, which is nice to see out of Oregon.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
Robert Parker 96 points. Wine Spectator 92 points.
A good quality wine. Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

My last bottle of 2013 Art Series Chardonnay. This remains one of the top Chardonnays in Australia together with Giaconda and Bindi Quartz Block for mine. As per previous note aromatics of white peach and cashew together with mealy notes. Not as full bodied as other Art Series but certainly doing well at 13 years of age. I often identify a dried pear character and this has hints of that. 98 points from James Halliday. — 10 days ago
