Forester Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Margaret River Wines

Shows tremendous evolution in bouquet as it opens. Initially a mixture of dark earth, plum pudding and coffee bean. There is a growth in the juicy primary fruit aromas of black and blue forest berries. Excellent structure, complexity and depth of flavour. Concentrated blackberries, current and plum fruits at the core with a fruit-chocolate sweetness adding weight. Acid is well balanced and combines with very fine dry tannin to provide a seamless and elegant length to the wine. A keeper.

Forester Estate Chardonnay 2010

Margaret River Wines

Citrus fruit with a combination of fleshy stone fruit and an obvious use of classy French Oak. Fresh lemon and lime zesty mouthfeel transitions into layers of complexity including subtle lees stiring. This is complimented by French Oak adding balance to the structure and texture but with minimal impact on aroma and flavour, characterising the Forester Estate elegant style.

Forester Estate Home Block Shiraz 2008

Margaret River Wines

This vintage shows more smokey, brambly complexity and sweet stewed fruits than previous years. Breathing time then reveals the typical dark cherries, anise and vanilla common to this label. Following the lead from the nose the palate has an earthy char-infused quality that initially holds a blanket on the fruit but which lifts to reveal black plum, sour cherry and a delicate powdery tannin. Fruit ripeness and acid are nicely balanced.

Forester Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Margaret River Wines

A slightly more serious style showing clean and focused characters of citrus, nettles, dried herbs and flint, with a touch of smoke adding complexity from partial barrel fermentation in one year old oak barriques. A fuller style that has great texture and freshness with dried herbs and citrus at the forefront. The wine finishes long and clean with lingering herbaceous characters and mineral acidity.

Forester Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Margaret River Wines

Clean, fresh and varietal Margaret River characters of lemon thyme, pea pod and honeydew melon. Full and textured with refreshing acidity. Showing dried herbs, citrus and pea pod characters right through the long, crisp finish. A classy example of the leading white style from the region.

Forester Estate Shiraz 2007

Margaret River Wines

Traditional Margaret River shiraz aromas of red berries and cherries with extra interest in the form of liqueur chocolate and a hint of fragrant spice. A friendly, medium weight Shiraz with juicy sweet red fruit to start gently merging with the structural oak components through the mid palate. A slightly cool spice quality also runs through the wine contributing some elegance and length.

Forester Estate Cabernet Merlot 2008

Margaret River Wines

Initially leafy/dusty Margaret River Cabernet dominates with some sweet earth complexity from Merlot and a touch of perfume from the lesser varieties. After breathing there is a considerable increase in black and blue fruits and soft mocha oak.

Forester Estate Georgette Sparkling Rose 2007

A fragrant bouquet where the aroma of dried flowers wafts above enticing strawberry shortcake and mixed berries. Subtle yeast derived aromas reminiscent of warm brioche add a further degree of attraction.
