2010 ALTIVO "BARREL SELECTION" CHARDONNAY-VIOGNIER
1st December 2011 ROBERT PARKERS WINE ADVOCATEThe 2010 Chardonnay (50%) – Viognier (50%) Altivo Barrel Selection saw 30% of the Chardonnay go through malolactic with 30% of the total blend aged in new French oak for 4 months. White peach, apricot, and poached pear aromas set the stage for a medium-bodied wine whose oak is well-integrated. In the glass it displays lively acidity, good balance, and a slightly narrow finish that kept the wine from a higher score. Even so, it is an excellent value meant for drinking over the next 2-3 years.

2007 CRAIGLEE CHARDONNAY
1st August 2010 STEPHEN TANZER'S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLARLight yellow-gold. Pure, floral aromas of tangerine, pear, anise and nutmeg, with a leesy undertone. Juicy, intensely flavored and fresh, showing deep citrus and orchard fruit flavors and a late note of truffle. Offers uncommon earthiness and smoky pungency for Australian chardonnay, with harmonious acidity giving it a firm spine. Finishes with outstanding length and verve. One of the country's top chardonnays, and built to age. The price makes it a relative bargain as this wine could stand side-by-side with Australia 's icon chardonnays that cost up to five times as much.

2006 CRAIGLEE CHARDONNAY
1st December 2009 ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATEThe 2006 Chardonnay was aged in mostly older oak, received minimal malolactic fermentation and minimal batonnage. It is light gold-colored with a superb bouquet of toasty oak, mineral, and tropical fruits. Restrained on the palate and elegant, it displays some complexity, ripe flavors, and an appealing style. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Craiglee is a boutique producer with a total production of 1400 cases.
