Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2009, South Australia, Australia: Minty blackberry aromas on the nose with great freshness and elegance on the palate. Mouth-filling richness of dark fruit. Great balance and finesse with a long finish. Perfect for dinner parties. Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine structure and bones, while shiraz gives it roundness and flesh. This wine is matured in barrels that contained the previous vintage of Grange, the winery's flagship wine. This wine keeps great company, and so will you when you share it with friends.

Sterling Vineyards Chardonnay 2012, Napa Valley, California, United States: Big, bold, buttery Californian Chardonnay in all its glory. Layered and rich and offering so much pleasure. Aromas and flavours of tropical fruit and freshly baked bread. Try this with roast chicken. Unapologetically big and blustery Chard serving up plenty of ripe melon, poached pear, white peach, sandalwood and touches of coconut and vanilla. It's robust and generous in the mouth with a creamy texture. (VINTAGES panel, June 2014) Drink: 2013-2018. 330233 13.50% XD 750 mL  $22.95 Score: 91/100. April 15, 2015 Top Rated White Wine.
