Amberhill Chardonnay is a blend of grapes from several growing regions in California, including Napa Valley and Monterey County. After fermentation, the wine will receive a short period of barrel aging. The oak imparts a nice complement to the fresh, fruity quality of the wine and increases the complexity of the finish. Refreshing and pleasant, Amberhill Chardonnay pairs nicely with seafood, poultry, salmon and other fish, light salads and creamy pastas Fresh, pleasant and flavorful, this Chardonnay displays wonderful fruit flavors of peach, pear, and apple. Balanced by crisp acidity and soft oak in the finish.

Fans of clean, dry white wine will love this one! Wonderful fresh minerality with a touch of lemony zest. Built to pair up with fish or chicken. Another great candidate for your deck/patio parties this summer.

TASTING NOTES: A complex flavour spectrum of violets, sweet ripe plums and wild scrub with nuances of crushed pepper and bay leaf. Maturation in oak adds a spicy smokiness, with a fruitcake and savoury finish. THE HARVEST The grapes were harvested between 27th February and 27th March 2003 from West-facing vineyards. BLEND INFORMATION 100% Shiraz

"Medium red. Truffley red fruits and smoke on the complex, rather Châteauneuf du Pape-like nose. Sweet, plump and creamy; fat with candied red berry and truffle flavours. Perhaps a bit evolved for its age, but I was knocked out by the wine's velvety, seamless texture and its thoroughly ripe, sweetly tannic finish. -Steven Tanzer's Wine Cellar

92 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The Yalumba Galway Pipe Port is a rich and opulent, sweet and generous Australian Port, layering its spice, sandalwood, cedar, raisin and tobacco flavors in a supple swirl...... This is a wonderful effort, one of my favorites for flavor and value. Nutty, brown-sugar notes are a great compliment to cheeses. Always a great choice for an after-dinner nitecap.- ed.
