Willow Bridge Estate Bookends Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon Fumé
"This has been a distinctive and complex style from Willow Bridge over a number of years, and this one, from a very good vintage, is as good as I have seen. Made traditionally with whole bunch pressing, wild fermentation, and then three months in French oak. It adds texture and complexity, but in this case, it's certainly not overdone. The vibrant fruit characters of these two varieties still emerge. Slightly smoky, lemon zest notes on the nose, and a palate that's rich and textured with excellent length. A few more years, and this thing would really sing. 94pts" (Ray Jordan Wine Guide). Mike Bennie gives it 91pts, writing in The Halliday Wine Companion: "The barrel seasoning works a treat here, layering in ginger biscuit, cinnamon toast and creamy nougat notes on the more expected sweet citrus, light tropical fruit punch notes of the two varieties. There's a little chalkiness to texture, a brightness of saline minerality in there, too. It does its trick well. 91pts" Jeff and Vicky Dewar established Willow Bridge Estate after acquiring a spectacular 180ha hillside property in the Ferguson Valley, a sub region of Geographe. Under winemaker Kim Horton, many of its wines offer exceptional value for money. James Halliday rated their beautiful winery among his ‘Best Wineries of 2014’ and ‘Dark Horse Wineries of 2013’. This is their popular and great value Dragonfly SBS, vibrant and refreshing, with pure and intense varietal character, lifted lychee, passionfruit and freshly squeezed lime. Enjoy fresh tropical fruits, kiwi fruit and pomegranate on the palate.

Sauvignon Blanc meets Semillon and Riesling in a rare blend, a portion of which is then matured in new French oak. "Scents of lemon curd and quince, nashi pear and almonds. The palate is much more keen and quick, a zesty shiver of lemon-lime with pink grapefruit and faint almond/nougat notes. A vibrant, tightly wound and thirst-quenching expression on hand. Very pleasing."

Devils Lair Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon
'Devil's Lair winery was considered a boutique winery until not that long ago. In recent years it has evolved to become one of the heavy weights of the Margaret River region. The winery's quirky name derives from an archaeological dig site on the property that unearthed an ancient Tasmanian Devil fossil. From the year that Devil's Lair's entry level wines earned accolades at Royal Society shows, I was expecting big things, and this wine doesn't disappoint. The wine's characters are intense, lean and focussed. Notes of strawberry jam, mulberry and blackcurrant. The Devil's Lair Cabernet Sauvignon is built for comfort, not speed. It will age well into teenage years and beyond.' - Andrew Woodforth, Vintage Cellars Spit Junction.
