PIKES CHARDONNAY 2004
"Glowing yellow-green; rises above its regional station in life; attractive, medium bodied stone fruit and fig; controlled oak.
89 Points. James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion 2007
"Bright gold. Smoky, nutty and ripe, with strong scents of honeyed apple, pear, peach and apricot. Rich and weighty, with lush tropical and melon flavors complicated by a leesy suggestion of sweet butter. Gains freshness on the finish, picking up spicy, minerally accents".
88 Points. Josh Raynolds - Tanzer's Wine Cellar, July 2006
PIKES CHARDONNAY 2003
“Pale straw-green; sophisticated winemaking, with a hint of French funk; tangy citrus and melon; malolactic and barrel ferment creamy notes; very good outcome for the region. Cork.”
90 Points. James Halliday. 2006 Australian Wine Companion.
BRONZE MEDAL – CLARE VALLEY WINE SHOW, NOVEMBER 2004.
"Pale bright gold colour. Aromas of stone fruits and baking spices. Rich, spicy, tactile and very dry; round and creamy but quite young, with a suggestion of menthol. Ripe but dry chardonnay, with a broad, persistent, very smooth finish".
89 Points. Stephen Tanzer – International Wine Cellar.
