Aussies in Wine Spectator's 2004 Top 100

8) Greg Norman Estates Reserve Shiraz 1999 - 96 Points - South Eastern Australia
24) Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay 2001 - 98 Points - Margaret River, WA
27) Elderton Command Shiraz 2000 - 97 Points - Barossa Valley, SA

93) Rosemount Hunter Valley Show Reserve Chardonnay 2002 - 90 Points - Hunter Valley, NSW

Looks like the whites sit on West and East coasts and the reds are firmly planted in the Barossa. Not a lot of news in that!
