Other wines tasted: 2005 Ram's Leap Shiraz Western Plains New South Wales (85), 2003 Canonbah Bridge Drought Reserve Shiraz Western Plains New South Wales. (Meadowbank Estates, Alexandria, VA)
2006 John R. McLaughlin Family Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc Ram's Leap New South Wales
($13) Light yellow. Smoky peach and pear aromas display good depth and a light floral honey note. Crisp, energetic citrus and orchard fruit flavors are further focused by a zesty lemon skin note. Finishes bright, energetic and clean, with good persistence and a building herbal quality.
