Review by Huon Hooke: 2008 Margaret River Chardonnay

Best Buy Wines $15 and under

Backvintage is a private-label company direct-selling inexpensive wines selected by Nick Bulleid MW. This chardonnay has a dominant toasty/charred oak aroma, although it does have lovely fruit intensity underneath. The structure is good, with a deal of strength, supported by some firmness from tannins, which also helps lend it a clean, firm, decisive finish. In the context of Margaret River chardonnay, it's very good value. HH

Review by James Halliday: 2008 Margaret River Chardonnay

Margaret River Chardonnay 2008 95 Points

Imagine this: estate-grown, whole bunch-pressed, 100% barrel fermented in French oak, matured on lees for nine months; the nectarine and grapefruit thrive on the oak, and the wine has great line and length, the finish excellent. The price is as sad as it is ludicrous, a fantastic bargain. Screwcap. 95 points

Review by Huon Hooke: 2008 Yarra Valley Pinot Noir

Bargain of the Week: BackVintage Coldstream Pinot Noir 2008, $15

A keenly priced Yarra Valely Pinot that opens with a reductive whiff then offers sweet ripe cherry, coupled with good weight and structure in the mouth. An extra year could soften it more. Great value. 89/100. Food: Duck roll–ups.
