Phil Ryan, long-serving chief winemaker of McWillam's Hunter Valley winery Mount Pleasant, who retired two years ago, has launched a new range of wines in collaboration with Saddler's Creek winery. Called Ryan's Reserve, the wines are a Hunter semillon and a Langhorne Creek cabernet shiraz, both produced in very limited quantities.
