2005 Cobaw Ridge Lagrein SILVER ..Macedon Ranges
The Cobaw Ridge Lagrein is worthy of note. It Presented well, with a dense colour and fresh blueberry fruit. It's better than many Italian examples we have tasted.

Quotes
James Halliday's Wine Atlas of Australia.
"Cobaw Ridge signature wine, Lagrein... the spicy and aromatic Shiraz Viognier and Chardonnay are also of high quality."
GOURMET TRAVELLER WINE October/ November 2007
: Ken Gargett
"The wines are exemplary. Only Tiny quantities of an excellent Pinot Noir are made. Given the quality of what they do make, it is hoped they persist. The Shiraz Viognier was the first made from the 1996 vintage, making it one of the earlier releases in Australia of this style. What attracts much interest is the Lagrein, a grape from north- east Italy but which makes a much fuller, richer wine in Australia, one which rewards cellaring."

"A cuter vineyard and winery you will not find anywhere in Australia. Moreover, it was the first vineyard in Australia to plant commercial quantities of Italian cultivar Lagrein. Never heard of it? Then go and taste it for yourself alongside a juicy, peppery shiraz and refined chardonnay. "
Tim White : The AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW . May 18-20. 2007
