Willow Bridge
Dragonfly Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2009 ($16.50)
A vibrant and fresh blend with the racy lime juice and gooseberry snow pea influences quite dominant. Palate has plenty of intense flavour supported with a fine but persistent acid. Lovely current drinking style. Like the relatively low alcohol.
Score:89/100
Goundrey Wines
Goundrey-G Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2009 ($21.50)
A delightfully zingy blended White. Bouquet is slightly perfumed with grassy herbaceous touches. The fine delicate palate is an enticing mix of snow pea, nettle and limey passionfruit. It's all held together with a fine lingering acid to sustain the finish. Nice current drinking wine.

Higher Plane
South by Southwest Cabernet Merlot 2007 ($21.50)
This is just such a friendly enjoyable wine. You'll want to keep on keeping on until the last drop is drained....in moderation of course. Exotic spicy perfumed scents on the nose of red berry and minty violet overtones. The palate is supple and deliciously fruity with a little cedary oak for complexity. Fine silky tannins complete a very good wine.

Rymill
The Yearling Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 ($15)

Tim Adams
Tim Adams Clare Valley Semillon 2008 ($23)
Consistently one of the best Semillons. This is a lovely wine with some distinctive lemon and grassy edges combining with the lifted oak influence. Adams ferments this is new French oak and leaves it there for about five months. It's not over done and strikes a good balance to allow the natural fruit to emerge. Will handle some medium term cellaring.
Score:89/100
Truffle Hill Wines
Truffle Hill Reserve Shiraz 2007 ($35)
This Pemberton based producer has started to strike a rich vein of quality in the past couple of years as the maturing vines deliver some quality fruit. This is an opulent yet elegantly structure Shiraz with a seamless integrated palate loaded with lush dark fruits. Excellent drinking over the next couple of years.
Score:92/100
Oakridge Wines
Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2008 ($32)
A wonderfully subtle and delicate Pinot from the Yarra with perfumed scents of spice, sour cherry and light cedar. Seamlessly woven palate of fine tannins and deftly applied oak. Deceptively long in the mouth with focussed precise flavours. Complex and interesting to the finish.
