James Halliday Australian Wine Companion, 2011 Edition
James Halliday Reviews
"Nicholson River's fierce commitment to quality in the face of the temperamental Gippsland climate and frustratingly small production has been handsomely repaid by some massive Chardonnays and impressive red wines (from estate plantings). Ken Eckersley refers to his Chardonnays not as white wines but as gold wines, and lists them accordingly on his newsletter."
2007 Montview Syrah - 91/100
"Medium red-purple; a flagrant light to medium bodied, cool grown Shiraz with lovely red fruits, spice and licorice supported by superfine tannins and a touch of oak; good mouthfeel, line and length."
2008 Montview Chardonnay - 93/100
"Bright straw-green; a complex nutty bouquet, then a finer palate with nectarine and melon fruit kept in line by citrussy acidity; old vines but not old style."
2009 Unwooded Chardonnay - 88/100
2006 Merlot - 89/100
2006 Cabernet Merlot - 89/100
