Neil Ellis Elgin Chardonnay 2001 - 90 points
Quite pumped up with a lot of creamy toast and fig notes, but there's solid pear and floral flavors underneath and a nice juice finish that lingers with a nice smoky edge. Flashy style this will have some fans for sure.

Neil Ellis Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2002 - 89 points
Attractive Chardonnay with ripe pear and fig notes offset by vibrant structure and a nice minerally edge. Long flinty finish shows nice detailing. Very nice.

This Cabernet has dark currant cassis and coffee aromas and flavors, sleek tannins and hints of vanilla and spice on the rich, plush finish. Impressive combination of concentration and focus.

Neil Ellis Vineyard Selection Shiraz 2000 - 90 points
Elegant style Shiraz, with black cherry, raspberry and blackberry fruit that stays poised and balanced. Has a juice texture and a long, stylish finish.

Neil Ellis Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 - 89 points
Alluring aromas and flavors of cocoa and cassis with hints of vanilla, coffee and mint. Sleek and polished with nicely focused tannins.

Neil Ellis Shiraz 2001 - 89 points
Shows more red fruite than black with raspberry and red cherry, helped by a creamy layer of mocha, coffee and spice. Round and fleshy on the finish. A stylish crowed pleaser.
