Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2003 by Leeuwin Estate Western Australia.

Leeuwin Estate was established in 1969 by Denis and Tricia Horgan. The land was previously used as a cattle station and after having been purchased as part of a deal to buy a plumbing business by Denis Horgan, the land was converted to vineyards based on the advice of the Western Australian Department of Agriculture. Leeuwin Estate produces around 60,000 cases of wine each vintage and owns 121 acres of vineyards. Margaret River is the foremost Geographical Indication wine region in the South West Australia Zone, with nearly 5,500 hectares under vine and over 138 wineries as at 2008. Overall the climate is similar to that of Bordeaux in a dry vintage.

The bottom label is interesting. It looks like a combination of tree and music note. However, the middle label is too simple. I have not tasted this wine yet. I put it on my wine rack collection.

Rosemount Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 by Rosemount Estate Australia.

Rosemount is an Australian winery based in Hunter Valley and South Australia, owned by Treasury Wine Estates. At the turn of the 20th to 21st century, Rosemount was the second best selling Australian wine brand in the US.

I like the diamond shape on the bottom of the bottle. It is unique. I don’t find other wine which have similar shape. Very creative.
I used to use this wine to marinate sirloin steak using this wine. I like it. I have several bottles. I put them on my wine rack collection.

Stefano Lubiana Merlot 2006 by Stefano Lubiana Wines Pty Ltd Tasmania Australia.

Tasmanian wines are noted for their naturally high acidity and good balance of fruit flavor that tend to age well. Due to the tendency of some grapes to not fully ripen, Tasmanian wine makers have petitioned the government to make exceptions for them in the country wide ban on chaptalization so that they can increase the alcohol level of some of their weaker red wines. As of 2007, there has been no action on this issue.

The label is too simple with black and white color. The stopping power for customer to buy is low. I think they should improve the label. I have not tasted this wine yet. I put it on my wine rack collection.

G7 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

G7 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 by D.O. Loncomilla Vallet Australia.
Wine of Chile The 7th Generation. Name G7 means “generation seven” of the del Padregal family. They have their vineyard run since 1825. The label stated that this wine is suitable for Chili Cuisine. Once, I tried with Indonesian food which is beef satay. Not to bad. But I think I ate more beef satay than drank this wine. On the other hand, I like the G7 name. It reminds me to a name of song “like a G6”.
