Want a great New World Chardonnay that is balanced, suffused with minerals and aromatics rather than tasting of lumber and butter? Australian Chardonnay is going through a renaissance at the moment with Australia’s prized “cool climate” producers leading the way. The Margaret River is more than 1,000 miles away from the historic heart of Australia’s wine business in South Australia. The climate and wine styles are similarly far removed. Vasse Felix’s founder, Dr. Tom Cullity, was the first to plant in Margaret River in 1967, making the Vasse Felix estate one of the most famous cool climate producers in Australia. Only 7% of these wines leave Australia, as Vasse Felix Chardonnay is the kind of boutique product Australians drink themselves.

The 2005 The Octavius is a 100% Shiraz cuvee sourced from Eden Valley and Barossa vineyards ranging in age from 70-100 years. Read More...
It was aged in 55% new French and American oak hogsheads and barriques. Purple-colored, it offers up a classy nose of wood smoke, pencil lead, smoked meat, game, blueberry, and blackberry. On the palate notes of plums, coffee, and anise also make an appearance. Opulent, savory, and concentrated, it has 6-8 years of aging potential and should be at its finest from 2015 to 2035.

to a core of savory herbs and classic black-currant fruit. "The Scribbler" is still catching on here, but a friend showed us some of the reviews from Australia. James Halliday gave the 2009 "Scribbler" 94 points, while Australia's brightest up and-coming young critic, Tyson Stelzer, also awarded 94 points to the Scribbler 2009, noting it was "the best bargain red in the country." We hope you give it a try-even England's most traditional critic, Michael Broadbent, gave "The Scribbler" high praise in the most recent Decanter Magazine.

The color is pale gold with green highlights, with a nose of pure aromas displaying apricot nectar, lifted honeysuckle and orange oil perfume.

This wine will continue to grow and develop in the bottle, firstly showing enhanced apricots and spice, then after a couple of years, honey flavors and toast.
