Hay Shed Hill 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (4* $25) Dark red in the glass with varietal notes on the nose and across the palate, this one, which turned up unannounced and uninvited just prior to Christmas was pleasant flavour-packed drinking, though it's early days yet. While the donation to our festive celebrations was welcome current purchase priorities will have Hughesy anticipating the arrival of the Four Seasons Club Cabernet Franc from the same vintage in six months' time I could be inveigled into a bit more of this one if the right offer appeared.

Hay Shed Hill 2008 White Label Tempranillo (4* $30) Medium bodied elegant, silky style with full, soft, rounded tannins, gently spicy with tasty mouth feel. Very easy to drink. While it mightn't be the greatest Tempranillo going around it's a long way from being the worst.
