Lot 92 – 2004 Margaret River Chardonnay

Price: $14
Alcohol by volume: 14.1%
Production: 350 cases

Cam’s back! This delicious wine (sealed with a screw cap) is very well balanced and delivers a nose of pineapple, pear and apple with a light mouth feel that is crisp with a bit of a tangy finish. Great with light fare, snatch this one up before it’s gone!

Lot 74 – 2006 Oak Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon
Price: ???
Alcohol by volume: 14.9%
Production: 1,440 cases

This wine is very young, and even with an hour of decanting, remains tight. The nose offers hints of blackberry and black raspberry with a chewy mouth feel that covers your tongue in a tannic blanket. The finish is long but acidic. This wine will definitely need to be placed in the cellar for another 4-6 years before enjoyed.
