Right in the style I like though, of course, your mileage may vary, the Zilzie 2008 Selection 23 Chardonnay looks good in the glass, comes in well on the nose and the fruit flavours with a touch of oak give a long finish that's remarkably good value at the price. RRP $11.49 TWS normal price $8.99. At a reorder price $7.64. I just might, though lack of space in the rack creates a problem, particularly given the likelihood that stocks may not last.....
On the red side of things the deep red Firebox 2006 Victoria Shiraz has plenty of spicy fruit on the nose and the palate and is a pleasant drink now style that isn't likely to tempt a reorder under the current circumstances. RRP $12.99, TWS $11.99 Reorder $10.19
I could be very tempted by the Society 2007 Blackwood Valley Cabernet (RRP TWS $12.99 Reorder $11.04), fruit driven, with berry flavours on the nose and a rich and rounded mouth feel but under the circumstances...
Similarly, the Reorder price of $9.34 (RRP $11.99 TWS $10.99) for a soft, medium bodied wine like Lindemans 2008 Premier Selection Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon could, under other circumstances, have some appeal. Plum coloured, spice and fruit on the nose and soft tannins in the glass it's a perfectly acceptable wine. It's just that the rack doesn't have space at the moment to accept any.
