Dark fruit flavours with a good balance of pepper, spice, and fine tannins.

Smooth and soft mouthfeel with deep fruit flavours. Enjoyed the first bottle so much that we soon went back to the store and picked up two more.

2003 Mills Reef Reserve Malbec Merlot
(2007-01-23 12:56:28 UTC) buddy icon 2003 Mills Reef Reserve Malbec Merlot 90/100

Only slightly less tasty than the 2004 Merlot Malbec. Easy drinking fruity wine with spicy/gamey notes.

Delicious, my favourite from Mills Reef so far. The mouthfeel is soft and thick. Very fruity Merlot with added depth from the gamey Malbec.

2005 Bell Mountain Dry Riesling
(2006-09-18 08:39:19 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Bell Mountain Dry Riesling 82/100

Light and so mild there's not much going on in the flavor department, just a hint of pears. Not bad at all, but I don't much care for any Riesling I've tried because I like more flavor.

2004 Driftwood Longhorn Red
(2006-09-18 08:31:07 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Driftwood Longhorn Red 86/100

Good medium-bodied dry red with a nice tannin bite that's not overpowering. Not complex or deep but still tasty.
