Reviews and other Notes
92 pts Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 2010 Greenish yellow. Cool, subdued aromas of beeswax, citrus peel and pungent herbs lifted by a topnote of white flowers. Firm and dusty in texture, with bracing flavors of citrus peel and bitter quinine. Displays impressive energy as well as depth, and finishes with excellent focus and cut. This wine still has years of life ahead of it. 91 pts Wine Advocate Issue #194 May 2011
The 2006 Oakey Creek Semillon is just starting to come into its own with some signs of evolution on the nose: hay, lanolin and crostini plus an undercurrent of lemon curd. Very crisp, dry and light-bodied, this wine is just starting to soften and open out beautifully, finishing long. Drink it now to 2019+. 91 pts Wine Spectator 7/31/10
Dazzling stuff, ripe, vibrant and complex, yet amazingly light on its feet and fresh. The flavors linger seamlessly on the finish. Drink now through 2020. 75 cases imported.
