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. — 6 months 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. — 5 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. — 5 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? — 6 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. — 3 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 — 5 years ago
