Chris Greene, JJ Buckley, February 2013

51% sauvignon blanc and 33% semillon. Aged in 100% new French oak.Pale straw hue. Complex aromas of pineapple and marigold open up to nuances of white chocolate, paraffin and cashew. Full-bodied and rich, the waxy texture is moderated by bracing acidity, allowing tropical and citrus fruit notes to harmonize with nutty and floral components. The one-minute plus finish eventually tails off into a beautiful cashew nut brittle. This is just now beginning to come together though it will really start to come into its own after two more years, then improve and evolve for another 20+. This will be stunning with nut-encrusted Halibut or cilantro lime prawns.

This is a juicy and luscious white. Not the perfect 2009. But really delicious and impressive. It's full-bodied, with creamy, floral and apple pie character. Lots of new wood and ripe fruit. Better in 2015. But up front and sexy now.

A blend of 51% Sauvignon Blanc, 33% Semillon and the rest Sauvignon Gris, this wine has staggering aromatics of orange blossom, lemon custard, pineapple and mango. Exotic, rich and full-bodied, it should drink nicely for at least 10 -15 years or more. --Robert Parker

Opulent and ripe, this is a powerful, wood-aged wine. It has a fine mix of tropical fruits, spice and vanilla. The richness is cut through with pink grapefruit to give a fine sense of poise and balance. Age for at least four years. -R.V.

A ripe white, offering a good bolt of lemon curd and heather running through the middle, with brioche, paraffin, passion fruit and green almond notes filling in the background. The lush, creamy finish sports the punch of the vintage, displaying length and definition. Drink now through 2016. -JM
