Capel Vale Margaret River Chardonnay 2007: Made in a more fatter and heavier butterscotch style and also has been given a good dollop of oak. Sometimes I really do like that style. Very good. Cheers, Mario Where did you find this little beauty? This was rated 94 from Halliday in the 2010 companion ...

The reason for the change over to screwcaps was due to the discovery that wine develops anaerobically (without air) and therefore the theory of the cork allowing air into the wine was defunct.

Hmmm, a fairly oaky rendition this one... pass.

Monghead,

Sorry to hear about the 07 Cab. The 08 is out or perhaps you might like the 07 Cab Merlot?

Private msg me and I'll see what we can do.

Allan,
