We will soon no longer be an "undiscovered" Australian wine, as word has gotten out in the wine press that Pretty Sally is a very nice drop! We have been receiving great write-ups in the past few months from great food and wine journalists.

Review by Gordon Stimmell, Wine Critic Saturday Star readership: 1,300,900 September 1, 2007 See the article	Review by Gordon Stimmell, Wine Critic Saturday Star readership: 1,300,900 A big red, with lots of extract. The first impression of blackberry jam changes as the wine breathes and opens up. Blackberry, black cherry and undertones of raspberry dominate the aromas and flavours with a cherry wood finish.
Review by Jeff Davis September 1, 2007 See the article	A plush and concentrated shiraz that brims with varietal character with Victoria Tinges. Dense yet fresh aromas of blackberry, cherry, spice and hints of white pepper. A mix of ripe and tangy fruit with sweet and spicy notes. Good acidity with plenty of fruit concentration and length.

Winery of the Year M. Lonsford, Houston Chronicle, Dec 25, 2006 Read complete article	Now to my Winery of the Year: Pretty Sally from Australia. Pretty Sally wines ... are both elegant and balanced, a rare combo these days. We tried the 2006 Pretty Sally Sauvignon Blanc ($17) — * * * * 1/2 — which was like a cross between a good Australian sauvignon blanc and a white Bordeaux, and the 2006 Pretty Sally Rosé ($16) — * * * * * — which is made from cabernet sauvignon and easily the best rosé I had this year. The 2003 Pretty Sally Cabernet Sauvignon ($24.50) — * * * * 1/2 — was much like a red Bordeaux, while the 2004 Pretty Sally Cabernet-Shiraz ($19) — * * * * 1/2 — is terrific, with a nice mint-eucalyptus nuance. And the 2004 Pretty Sally Shiraz ($25) — * * * * * — is outstanding, with a peppery quality reminiscent of a top-grade Cornas.

"Australian wines gained their huge following by making wines with ripe jammy fruit and smooth tannins...At the same time there are others whose goal wa alwaays to produce leaner, more structured wines which serve best as companions to a meal. Pretty Sally is one of those. It does this nicely and if you are not familiar with the wines, look for them." PS Sauvignon Blanc 2006: "...aromas of herb, tropical fruit and mineral which continue as assertive flavors plus lemon-lime and good acidity and finish broad and medium long....Very good. PSRose 2006: "It is dry, well balanced, structured, and integrated. Tasty. Good Value." PS CabSauv 2003: "Flavors of ripe blue berry, plum, blackberry,black cherry, currant and oak are laced with juicy acidity and fine tanning. Finish long..." PS Cab/Shiraz 2004: "It finishes long and broad. The wine has nice acidity, is popularly styled, and will go well with burgers and the like. Well balanced, structured and integrated." PS Shiraz 2004: "Round, smooth, bright flavors...and fine tannins. Finish long and medium broad. Well integrated, balanced, and structured. Good."

All had deep, vibrant variations of crimson and lovely noses."
