The People Behind The Wine
Vintage Report
Tim’s Ravings will return in the Spring Newsletter, by which
time he will have fully recovered from his broken head after
falling in the winery and will have had the chance to get
good and worked up about something wine-related (right
now he’s just glad to be alive).
The season began relatively normally, but December and
January were “hot as buggery” (Tim dictated this!), which
stressed the vines out, but resulted in good numbers of nice
tiny berries after flowering and not a whiff of disease. Then
in February, the heat wave disappeared for ideal ripening
conditions – not much rain, cool weather, and lots of
sunshine. The fruit took its own sweet time to ripen, but
the vines held their leaf, and I held my impatience at bay
and we picked lovely fruit with fabulous flavours at perfect
ripeness. 2013 is a really good year for Huntington, very
similar to the acclaimed 2006 vintage, and with about 100
Tonnes of fruit over the weigh-bridge we’ve got plenty of
it!
The whites are made, all the reds bar the Vintage Port have
been pressed-off, and I’m really happy with the results. The
whites are full-bodied with nice, juicy fruit flavours and
the reds have fantastic colour (which correlates strongly to
flavour and quality) with bold fruit character. I’m pleased to
say I even managed to make a Tim Stevens Shiraz this year
for the first time since 07.
The Vines are quite tired, and need a good rest over winter
(don’t we all), but with 2 good years before this and the
deep roots and wiles of old vines, we’ll all go into 2014 in
good shape.

Winter at Huntington Estate
Freezing nights and frosty mornings give way to warm and
sunny days as we move into winter. The vines have lost leaf
and lignified, and everyone’s busy with post-vintage clean
up, book work, repair and maintenance.
In the winery we’re bottling the 2013 whites and getting
the 2013 reds into barrel.
In the vineyard, the mammoth task of pruning begins.

2008 Huntington Estate Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Varietal and intense
94/100 James Halliday,
Wet and cool, 2008 was a great Cabernet year at Huntington and
this wine is a very fine expression of the variety.
Elegant sweet green chilli peppers with that hint of minerality
given by the Mudgee terroir. Fine herbs and a balsamic component
are well integrated in the aromatic profile.
Its expressive flavours persist on the palate with a very intense
mouth-feel and medium length. Lovely with roast beef rib or
cheddar, drink now, cellar for five years plus.
Only: $408 per case ($34 per bottle) SAVE $36
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz
Smooth and rounded
A crowd-pleaser, beautifully balancing the green
of the Cabernet and the red fruit and spice of the
Shiraz. Violets, blackcurrants and red fruit on the
nose, with a smooth, well-balanced and rounded
palate with plenty of fruit. Drink with Antipasto,
cured meats now and for the next 3-5 years.
Only: $252 per case ($21 per bottle) SAVE $24
2009 Merlot
Red berries and firm acids
A medium bodied wine with a red berry fruit outline.
On the nose, cherries and red plums balanced with
a touch of vanilla and cloves. The palate is rich in
minerality with strawberry and raspberry notes.
Firm acids drag the fruit to a good finish in good,
old fashioned Huntington style. A perfect match
with rich wintry fare like pork belly or slow cooked
lamb. Drink now, up to 5 years.
Only: $252 per case ($21 per bottle) SAVE $24

2007 Huntington Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Velvety fruit and spice
One of my favourites from the hot, dry 2007 vintage, this wine shows a complex range of dry red and black
fruit flavours backed up by spices and chocolate. The fruit persists throughout the palate, and the soft, well
integrated tannins give a velvety texture with a lingering finish. Beautiful paired with roast pork or spicy
salmon. Enjoy now, cellar for up to five years.
Only: $252 per case ($21 per bottle) SAVE $24
2008 Huntington Estate Vintage Port
Elegant and spicy
The cool conditions of 2008 have resulted in an elegant, spicier wine than its recent predecessors. Blackberry
jam, pepper and spice with green capsicum on the nose; blackberry, dark plums and pepper on the palate.
Lovely mouth-feel. Perfect with pears poached in red wine and spice or washed rind cheese. Drink now, cellar
for 10 years plus.
Only: $228 per case ($19 per bottle) SAVE $24
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 29
Savoury and complex
A typical Huntington Cabernet. Elegant and complex on the nose with good varietal herbaceous and blackcurrant
characters, plus balsamic notes from the oak. Long and rounded in the mouth, with well integrated savoury
flavours of herbs, blackcurrant and a hint of smokiness. Lovely with roast lamb. Drink now, up to 5 years.
