James Halliday 2009 Wine Companion
1 Aug 09 – In his new 2009 Wine Companion James Halliday rated Hamelin Bay Wines at 4 1/2 stars. We’re still reeling from the backward step from the maximum 5 star rating we achieved in 2007.
He gives an impressive:
94 points to the 2007 Five Ashes Reserve Chardonnay,
92 points for the 2008 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc,
90 points for the 2008 Sauvignon Blanc,
and the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008 Rampant white and 2007 Chardonnay also faired well with 88, 89 and 89 points respectively.
