Great full body wine. Packs the kick of cab. Spicy and not too sweet. Good finish in back of mouth. Buy again. Bought at Bonnie Brae, Xander rec. — 4 years ago

Previous notes apply. More cassis than the recently tasted 2008 Lenton Brae (nearby vineyard) and overall a slightly better wine. An amazingly good 2nd wine from Woodlands from an excellent vintage. This is predicted to be drinking well towards the end of this decade and as I have 5 left I will have one every 18 months from now on if I have the patience! I ended up having the next one 50 weeks later on 31st October 2021. Definitely more herbal and brambley characters than cassis and black currant. Just medium weight 91 points. I think drink the remaining bottles in the next few years. — 6 years ago

Great white wine. Smooth, but not lacking. Some hints of oak and white stone fruit. Medium acidity. Good minerality making it crisp and not buttery. would buy again. Bought at Bonnie brae — 7 years ago

Matured in French Oak with slight vanilla notes on bouquet showing. The palate dominated by Citric flavours with the oak maturation giving a nice textural quality. Medium plus acid. Drank my last bottle 58 weeks later on 19th April 2019 with consistent notes. The light touch of French Oak makes it a better wine. As it turns out that was not my last bottle on April 2019. I found the last bottle and drank it on 11th October 2022. Holding up ok even though HH’s window finished at 2018. Naturally had lost some freshness. — 8 years ago

Entry level Cab blend from Lenton Brae and punching above its weight. Notes of geranium and black currant. The palate shows good richness and body finishing with fine quality tannins. Merlot fleshing out the middle palate nicely. Very impressed. — 10 years ago

Another dry Riesling from down under, why not?
This is lovely. Right up my alley.
Lemon, lemon zest, flowery scents, some petroly touches too. Textbook Riesling nose. The palate is acid driven, as expected, with lemony and lemon curd notes all along, some good width and a massive grip in the rear. The finish is long, lemony and zesty and goes on for a super long while, leaving a tangy aftertaste that lingers for a moment. Great stuff. Different take than the 2 hands effort I tasted some time ago, unoaked, but very good example of the varietal. Thumbs up again! — 2 years ago

A white blend that does very well in Margaret River and this is a fine unoaked example. Lenton Brae also have an oaked White Bordeaux style called “Wilyabrup” which can be cellared longer. Grassy with some passion fruit notes. This is delicious and refreshing - an excellent Summer white. Also great value at only $24. — 7 years ago

See previous note from February 2023. A full bodied Margaret River Cabernet - cassis and herbs. This is really good. From the dress circle Wilyabrup area of northern Margaret river with neighbours like Moss Wood, Woodlands, Vasse Felix and Cullen etc. Barb said woody notes (not meaning oak influence). All the best Margaret River Cabernet attributes with the texture and mouthfeel of an excellent Barossa Shiraz. We both loved this wine. Have the last one in mid 2025. — 3 years ago

Smooth, light but not too light, has some good flavor. Good tannins. Not much oak, but doesn’t taste like water. Got at Bonnie Brae. — 7 years ago

Pale lemon in colour. A funky leesy nose. Too acidic (citrus and grapefruit) and lean for my palate. This Wine won the Trophy for Best WA White Wine at the 2012 Perth Royal Wine Show. The judges must have been looking at the newer lean style back then - now going back to the fleshier Peach styles these days. Will the acid ever diminish with this wine? — 8 years ago
