Tapestry 2005 Chardonnay McLaren Vale wine Review by Billy

Nose: soft apple crisp and butter cream with daisy floral scents
Palate: good acid structure allows this 2005 Chardonnay to stand up on its own.
Finish: Citrussy finish without grassiness that is nice.
Overall: I paid 7.99 for this wine that was on the 1/2 price shelf at the local wine mart. Chilled it is a nice late summer wine. At the price point I found it for it is a steal. At $12 it is a fair price, at 16 or more you'll get a good wine at a premium price point.

Still, Raise a Glass to bargains and summer's decrescendo!

Tapestry Shiraz 2006 wine review by Billy

Nose:Jammy plum and an almost sweet strawberry layer. Peppery, nutmeg and cedar spices are wonderful.
Palate: Warm balance that spreads evenly throughout the mouth giving a full, warm and spicy feel. Soft tannins that are well balanced against an even acid core makes this a delightfully well crafted and even drinking wine.
Finish:soft and slightly acidic. blackberry and plum with some chocolate and spice hints briefly make an appearance.
Overall: This is the bakers gully vineyard from Mclaren vale Austrailia. I paid about $26 for this bottle. A wonderful bottle at a moderate price. Definitely get a bottle or three to have on hand for nice dinners - even if you are dining alone. Worth it!
