Collection Notes


This collection represents a cross-section of Australian winemaking from the late 1990s and early 2000s, a period of significant quality development in Australian viticulture. Briar Ridge's Signature Release Cabernet Merlot from 2002 is a notable inclusion from a respected Hunter Valley producer. Tyrrell's 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon represents the South Eastern Australia appellation. Drayton's 1999 Shiraz from Pokolbin is a classic Hunter Valley expression. The Paddock 2000 Shiraz from Yarra Valley showcases the cooler climate region's style. Tamburlaine's 2003 Merlot from Orange demonstrates the emerging quality of that region. Five Mile Hollow's 1997 Classic Red completes the collection as the oldest vintage present.
