Destination West Wine

Cullen Wines

Diana Madeline Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2009

Bob McDonald
9.5

Mid crimson in colour. Lovely Cabernet aromas with a trace of blue fruits and a hint of violets. Very balanced and harmonious on the palate. Elegant. Plenty of flavour intensity and only 12.5% ABV. Tannins are fine but persistent. So balanced almost nothing stands out - the characteristics of a lot of great wines. Will cruise on to its 20th birthday and beyond. Cullen - Margaret River royalty. — a month ago

Heytesbury Margaret River Chardonnay 2015

Bob McDonald
9.5

At my Chardonnay Challenge of 6 wines with very close scores the Heytesbury finished 6th. I still gave it 95 points and a Gold Medal. HH said “powerful grapefruit and citrus - Gingin/Mendoza clones and 97 points “. A semi regular annual purchase for me. — 2 months ago

@Bob McDonald, amazing tasting, and some great wines, wish I had been there (you know, there are airplanes from the U.S. to Oz, just saying. . . .)

@Doug Powers I think most of these wines would be available in the US maybe with the exception of the Giaconda.

Hirsch Vineyards

West Ridge Pinot Noir 2020

Tyler Felous
9.4

Hirsch with another great wine. Gorgeous nose with more depth than your average Pinot. Sour cherry notes. Not much tannin to deal with here. Curious where my other bottles will be in a few years — 5 months ago

Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2011

Bob McDonald
9.4

Typical nose of an Art Series Chardonnay with that dried pear character. On the medium weight palate a nice combination of ripe grapefruit and under ripe yellow peach. Medium minus acid. One can’t help but love this Chardonnay. A wonderful terroir, the Gin Gin clone, great winemaking, and an excellent vintage - ticks all the boxes. At its peak but enough acid for a few more years if you wish. That was my last bottle of the 2011. — a month ago

@Doug Powers Yes Doug. A good spot for lunch as well where you can get some seriously aged Art Series Chardonnay to go with your fresh WA Marron. Mouth watering just thinking about that.
