Impressive operation with small high-quality range.
2010 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (4.5/5 $22) the regional trademark blend that is to Margaret River what Riesling is to Clare. Early drinking style firmly wedged into the upper end of the echelon and the varietal characters integrated very nicely indeed. Definitely one to throw into an order.
2010 Sauvignon Blanc (4/5 $22) Soft generous tropical fruit characters but not quite up there. Consider.
2009 Southside Chardonnay (4/5 $25) Early release style, a tangy minimal-oak number that worked very well. Definitely worth a look.
2010 Special Late Harvest (4/5 $18) Blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc working very nicely indeed. Definitely one to go with the curries.
2010 No Way Rose (4.5/5 $18) Bone dry style that works stunningly well, could best be described as summer in a glass and is definitely one to throw into the Little House of Concrete summer mix.
2009 Cabernet Merlot (4/5 $25) Softer, drink now style and definitely one to look at.
Six wines, two of each would make a dozen, but actually I'd be inclined to skip the Sauvignon Blanc and double up on the Rose. $252 Freight free!
