Maurice O'Shea Hunter Valley Shiraz 2006

Earthy cherry notes with a touch of leather. Sounds like descriptors for a good Brunello but no, this is a very good 10 year old Hunter valley Shiraz. A product of vines now more than a century old from the historic Hillside Vineyards. Named after the legendary Maurice O'Shea who began making wine in the Hunter in 1925. I have read his biography and once had a bottle of 1952 made by the great man, who died in 1956. Viticulture in the Hunter can be traced back to 1823. — 10 years ago

Wunderkind Mokelumne Glen Vineyard Blaufränkisch 2013

I was named for a Saint who was a very wealthy man. He had the wine, the women, the songs, the whole bit, and then inexplicably, took a vow of poverty and became a hermit. Ran off to to live in the forest, in the nude. This is what he's been missing. — 10 years ago

A man named Robert Parker said this wine should be dead. Impeccable. #condrieu — 11 years ago

A superb wine, from a magician named Alain Dejean, working in biodynamic, a great man - the wine spent 2 years in barrels working on proper oxydation technics - resulting in a rich, concentrate wine , but also fresh small touch of licorice and fruit notes like grapefruit and mango - it is well balanced and silky - a great bottle to share with friends 😎 — 11 years ago
