Rosé Blend 2016

Pretty rose gold color, interesting blend of Grenache, Mouved, and Counnoise (which I have never heard of). Fresh floral notes and red fruits on the nose, healthy acid, citrus. Little bit of bitterness on medium length/complexity finish. Very drinkable, though not remarkable. — 8 years ago

Kapitel I Red Blend 2014

9.1

I've been on the hunt for this for a while now, and I'm happy to finally get some in my glass. The juicy cab franc with its spicy and peppery undertones does take in a Loire direction, but then the zweigelt adds a different sort of funk that pushes it into new territory. A lot going on here for such a quaffable wine, and it comes across as dynamic, alive and idiosyncratic. It also pushes all my happy buttons. Yum. Holla @Phil Ashton! — 8 years ago

Antica Enotria

Puglia IGT Nero di Troia

A new grape to me, swaddled in satin smooth moves, the renamed Nero (that used to be an Uva, or egg) de Troia, here is the kind of luscious red that the big red wine drinkers would adore. Maybe we should re-name Merlot as Mero de Troy... — 10 years ago

Kalleske

Greenock Single Vineyard Shiraz 2016

Is this the best to date? Since 2002 I am not sure I have seen a better Kalleske Greenock in its youth. 2012 was excellent with 2013 being a tad more elegant but in the end as excellent. As for this vintage, more on the darker fruit spectrum with spice influences. Appears at first like a full frontal assault that settles down as the senses become attuned. Love it...well done Troy and Tony and team. — 8 years ago

Sample from Estate. Deep and clear yellow, love this wine from the start, so visually appealing. Beautifully complex nose that started off with a little bit of oak influence, toasted nuts. Layers created the complexity with notes of stone fruits, and some citrus, almost like a lemon curd. Day two the nose got a little sappier, as in thicker and dark with some honeysuckle. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and full bodied. Creamy mid palate with vanilla bean and honeysuckle in the front. Long finish that brings through a more Burgundy feel with lemon and a little minerality. Absolutely delicious and killer value for only $25.00. Drink now or enjoy till 2023. — 9 years ago

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2012

Found this for 6.99 in Troy Alabama at a gas station on my way to the beaches of 30A. My rating does reflect that price, but how wonderful to find a true Pinot Noir inside a roadside gas station. Forest floor with soft and sour fruit and a pop of freshness throughout. — 8 years ago

Clare Valley Sparkling Shiraz 2008

Sparkling Shiraz is an Aussie specialty and very appropriate on Christmas Day. This is interesting in that it is made by Ashton Hills with fruit from a 97 year old vineyard in the Clare owned by Wendouree. A rich mouth filling plummy palate with a gentle mousse soft tannins and acid with a long finish. Delicious! — 9 years ago

About 10 years ago I really enjoyed a bottle of Seaview that a friend gave to me, but have not encountered any sparkling Shiraz since then. It was delicious and festive.

9.1

Second wine we are trying tonight and the same name as my mom. Garnet red with a crimson core. Nose started off with a slight smokiness that wore off to plums, dark cherries, and some light strawberries. Very interesting undertone of thick and creamy dark cocoa. Slight baking spices on the palate with some dark cherries and plums. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) with a strong structured body. Slight dryness to the finish. Definitely needs a couple years to fully integrate and becoming a stunning WA Bordeaux. Drink from 2017 till 2028. 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. — 9 years ago
