The 2011 Thomas Hyland Riesling presents an intense nose of lemon juice, kumquat, chalk and white pepper. Light-bodied, very crisp and dry, it’s a little tight and austere at this stage, finishing long and citrusy. Approachable now, it should drink best from 2013 to 2017+. The first vintage of the good value Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet was 1976. Back then it was labeled as “Claret” in reference to the style rather than the grapes. In September 2011, Peter Gago put together a vertical of the Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet, going back to the very first vintage.Importer: Treasury Wine Estates, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-4500
