Robert Parker gives all Lost Valley Winery the thumbs up.
The world acclaimed wine expert Robert Parker has reviewed all four varietals from Lost Valley and each wine has received excellent reviews.
Not only is the average score across all 4 varietals 90, but the very complimentary language also stands the wines in good stead. Needless to say a 90score - for all varietals from the vineyard - from the Parker stable is no small feat!
Top wine distributors in the USA point out -
we can probably count, on one hand, the number of Aussie wineries with a 90 point Parker average score, this is incredible. Lost Valley Winery has truly come of age as one of Australia's top boutique wineries. Chris Daniele, Wine Trade Trust.
| The 2005 Cortese - Score 90 - is light gold with a complex bouquet of passion fruit and pear. This is followed by a medium-bodied, layered wine with spicy, intense white fruit flavours, crisp acidity, and considerable length. Drink it over the next 2-3 years although the winery claims that it has 10 years of cellaring potential. The bottom line is that this Cortese is too good to defer gratification for any significant amount of time. | |
| The 2005 Sauvignon Blanc - Score 90 - is medium straw-coloured with lovely aromas of mineral, fresh herbs, melon, and lemon-lime. Medium-bodied, in the mouth it is full-flavoured with ripe fruit and vibrant acidity. There is superb depth and concentration leading to a very long, fruit-filled finish. Made in the style of a top-level Sancerre, this stylish effort will drink will for 2-3 years. | |
Merlot  | The 2004 Merlot "Hazy Mountain" - Score 89 - was aged for 15 months in 75% new French and American oak. Purple-coloured, it offers up scents of wood smoke, spice box, black currant, black raspberry, and chocolate. This leads to a medium to full-bodied wine with excellent balance, sweet fruit, and ripe flavours in its elegant personality. It can be enjoyed now but will evolve for several years and last through 2020. |
| The 2004 Shiraz "Thousand Hills" - Score 91 - was aged for 18 months in 50% new French and American oak. It is a stylish rendition with aromas of smoky oak, mint, spice box, white pepper, black cherry and plum. Soft on the palate yet very concentrated, with subtle red and black fruit flavours with a hint of liquorice, the wine has a 45-second, pure finish. Give it 4-6 years to fully blossom and drink it through 2024. |
These wines are available nationally, so don't delay, stocks are limited!
Lost Valley Vineyards is located in the new cool-climate GI of Upper Goulburn located 1 hour northeast of Melbourne. All four wines are made from estate-grown fruit. Pure Quality, hand pruned, cane arched, leaf plucked, bunch thinned, hand picked! That is just part of the care given to producing the best fruit possible to in turn make the level of quality that Lost Valley has become synonymous with.
