Paul Bettio King Valley Cabernet Merlot 2008

"4.5 Stars" "The King Valley has some stellar performers, a few true generals supported by some sturdy soldiers. Paul Bettio fits neatly into the latter group and continues to turn out decent and dangerously drinkable reds and whites at bargain prices. The latest red blend is just the sort of wine you would serve with a Friday-night pizza, a saturday basic barbecue or a Sunday cheese platter."

Paul Bettio King Valley Shiraz 2008
"Very good wine that shows depth and persistence. Great colour and vibrant fruit cake-like nose. Palate has a lovely creamy texture and is layered with flavours of dark fruit, plums and olives."

Paul Bettio King Valley Barbera 2008
"Appealing soft, fresh quaffer with interesting estery berry aromas and flavours."

David Sutherland The Border Mail, November, 2008
Paul Bettio King Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2008
".... It is interesting how sauvignon blanc changes its fruit character according to its growing location. This doesn't have the pungent green characters typical of New Zealand wines but more of the soft tropical fruit flavour akin to chardonnay. The nose has real lychee and peach aromas while the palate treads the same flavour path, is fresh and clean with hints of sweet capsicum."

Paul Bettio King Valley Rosso Dolce 2008
"Delightful perfumed/rose petal aromas and sweet, fizzy palate full of peaches and spices."
