NV Canobolas-Smith Rosebud NV

2019-12-07T02:46:42Z

85 points - Salmon coppery colour. Hint of oxidation perhaps, some barrel stirring character, hint of funk. An interesting wine, certainly unusual, textural with a touch of red fruit sweetness. There’s a touch of firmness, there’s phenolic. 50% pinot noir, 25% cabernet franc and chardonnay.

2004 Canobolas-Smith Shiraz

93 points - Very nice. Not as big or as peppery as a south Australian Shiraz but very nice. Age is just right. Terrific balance.

2006 Canobolas Chardonnay

2011-08-04T11:55:10Z

90 points - Faint hint of yeast and minerally citrus and nutty aromas. Palate is very concentrated with a good weight. Balance is there but a touch blunt and simple. Packs a punch though.
