APW Portfolio secures big plaudits from Halliday again!
The 2011 Australian Wine Companion by James Halliday has been released with APW portfolio members again securing high praise indeed. Highlights include:
Eppalock Ridge again secures a four star rating for the label and 4 and a half glasses and 90/100 for their stupendous 2005 Shiraz (16% alc) and 89 for Susans Selection.
Geddes Wines are well rated again with the 2006 blend of Shiraz and Grenache grabbing most attention with a 94/100 followed by a strong showing for Petit Verdot (90) and Shiraz (89).
Kopparossa Wines secured a 4 star rating and celebrate with 4 labels gaining 90 plus scores: the 2006 Cabernet Merlot and Merlot and the 2007 Sauvignon Blanc and 2004 Shiraz Viognier.
Narkoojee are rated excellent with 4 and a half stars and they secured 94/100 for their 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and five other 90 plus scores for 2007 Isaac Shiraz (93), 2006 Merlot (92), 2008 Lily Grace Chardonnay (90), 2005 Myrtle Point Shiraz (90) and Reserve Chardonnay 2005 (90). Three other wines scored 88/100.
Murdoch Hill maintain a 4 and a half star depicting an excellent winery even though no new wines were assessed in time for the release of the edition. This is almost certainly a reflection of the 94 rating for 2006 shiraz and 90 plus ratings for all other current release wines.
Pfeiffer Wines have been elevated to 5 stars and thus the outstanding class with no fewer than 12 products rated 90 plus and another 6 scoring 87-90 wines of above. Five products secure 94-96/100 giving them the maximum 5/5 glasses ratings!
Sieber Rd wines like Geddes retain their solid rating with the 2007 GSM securing 90 plus and the straight Shiraz and other blends also rating highly.
Will Taylor maintains his excellent rating even though Halliday did not actually evaluate any new wines from his stable. This reflects the fact that 4 current release wines are rated at 90 plus.
Thomas Wines are the big winners this year having their outstanding status of five stars confirmed and elevated to * * * * * in response to their excellence reaffirmed for three years in succession. Kiss Shiraz 2007 is rated at 95/100 and along with 2008 Braemore Semillon, Sweetwater Shiraz 07 and TBC Shiraz 2007 rounds out four 94/100 plus entries.
As many APW clients and supporters will know, our great mate and long term supplier Wayne Thomas died in April 2007.
"Thommo" had just supervised the harvest and crushing of the 2007 vintage and his talented son Andrew agreed to finish the job and make the last ever Wayne Thomas wines. APW is delighted and honoured to have secured the international agency for fewer than 1000 cases of what will be known as "The Final Edition" Wayne Thomas.
There is a 2007 Shiraz and 2007 Petit Verdot in the collection and they are absolutely fantastic.
Orders are being taken now and final allocations to our distributors in Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Singapore and Taiwan will be finalized shortly. After this, it will be first in best dressed.
