Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay, 2005 Review

General Impression of Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay, 2005

First thought come on America wake up! How can the Australians make such an exceptional Chardonnay, ship it all the way to the US , pay tariffs for import and still keep a price where a retailer can sell fewer than five bucks? Other then Barefoot Chardonnay I have yet to find anything close from the US under five bucks or under six for that matter.

This Chardonnay was also clearly made with the intention of exporting to the US catering to the US with enough Oak to have that distinctive oak character that many Americans think is a “Chardonnay taste”. This wine has a lot going on at this price point great flavors like cedar and spice and oak in the back ground with lots of citrus up front and in the aroma. You will never be displeased with this wine if you want a nice Chardonnay.

Lindemans Bin 50 Shiraz, 2005 Review

General Impression of Lindemans Bin 50 Shiraz, 2005

Like just about any wine from Lindemans this one was excellent. I am not a huge fan of Shiraz (or Syrah as it is also known) wines but I do enjoy them and they certainly have a place in my wine rack. This is one of the better ones under 8 dollars a bottle and with out a doubt at the top of the Australian list for this price point.

This is a nice wine, the color is very purple and the aromas make you think of berries and cherries. That body is medium to full bodied and it is one of those wine you like even better after the 2nd or 3rd glass. I found the oak more noticeable after the first glass as well.
