2019 Chardonnay HALLIDAY Review, August 2021
It's bright. It's juicy. It's playful. It's Yarra Valley cabernet at a fair price. Don't expect complexity per se, but do expect mulberries and blackberries, almost-furry tannins and plenty of leafy eucalypt/mint woven into the body of the wine. 90 points - Jane Faulkner

2020 Pinot Grigio WINE FRONT Review, March 2021
Pear and almond, mint and fennel. Light flavour of pear and nuts, light chalky texture, some grapefruit pith and tang. Decent finish. Enjoyable dry white with a pleasant Italianate twist, and a pleasing tweak of textural interest. 90 points - Gary Walsh

2019 Chardonnay WINE FRONT Review, March 2021 
Sticks and stones may break my bones, though Tony Fikkers would never hurt me. Or at least I think so. Sourced from two vineyards in Yarra Glen, plus a small portion from St Andrews. This seems a bit of a step up from previous vintages, or I may just be in a good mood.

Appealing modern style of Chardonnay. It’s fresh and energetic, lime, hazelnut, vanilla, and white peach, fine chalky feel, something like green olive, crunchy bits, and a lively finish with some lemon zest. Like it. Good to drink. 91 points - Gary Walsh

2018 Cabernet WINE FRONT Review, August  2020
Single vineyard Cabernet from Coldstream
Dark berries, violet and mocha, some leafiness. Medium-bodied, good volume of fruit with tobacco savouries, slightly chunky tannin, but lovely flavour all up in a thoroughly regional style. Finish is solid. You’re doing very well at the price here. A few years in the cellar will do it a favour too. 91 points - Gary Walsh
