9.2

This wine was so named because they had a terrible hailstorm in 2015 (late 2014?) that they described as catastrophic, leaving little Riesling fruit left at harvest. Off-dry, some petrol/diesel notes, great acidity, balanced and texturally very nice, long finish, very fine! — 9 days ago

9.1

Dark fruits and red fruits and a nice splash of oak as well, this is the winery’s drink early Pinot Noir, but this has the structure and stuffing to last at least 2-4 years, if not longer, very fine balance and texture. — 2 days ago

Alkoomi’s top Shiraz from 40-year-old vines, lovely medium-dark color, spicy redfruits and earthy, savory notes as well, works great with the duck fennel sausage, medium-long finish, lovely!!

[Staying at the Alkoomi Chalets right next to the winery, w/kitchen and BBQ, grilled some duck fennel sausages which go marvelously with the Shiraz.] — 9 days ago
