UMAMU Estate Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2019
"The vineyards providing the fruit for this blend were planted in 1987 for the Sauvignon Blanc and 1997 for the Semillon. There is a small percentage of the wine which has been fermented in French oak barrels in order to enhance the texture and complexity of the wine. A shining pale green/lemon hue here. There is a soft tropical nose with spices, herbs, peaches, passionfruit and mango. The extra time here has allowed the wine to soften and come together. A gentle texture here, but with a fine line of acidity. Guava notes emerge on the palate. A wine of medium length for enjoying over the next year or two." -- 90 Points James Halliday
UMAMU Estate Ann’s Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
"Pomegranate molasses, morello cherry and blackberries. Maple leaf, tree bark and sweet chewing tobacco. Red berried fruit meets blackcurrants, wrapped in mocha and coffee spice. Acidity is perky and uplifting. Carrying the rosella and tulip florals high. There is a red clay component with dusty tannins and a crunch to the sweet red fruit. Drinking well now and will cellar for another 5-10 years. Cumin, dried coriander powder on the finish. Serve with pulled pork and smokey bbq sauce burgers." -- 93 Points The Wine Pilot
