My book is all about Australian wines- to be clear, I don't otherwise read much.

Two Hands

Sexy Beast McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Finally seeing a trend among Aussie cabs. They tend to taste like shiraz's, not a bad thing at all. — 11 years ago

Penfolds

Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2010

Delicious aussie shiraz...little to much oak (mostly American new o think) for my taste which overpowers the fruit, but really nice. — 11 years ago

Pepperjack

Saltram of Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Never run across Pepperjack before - and I've downed a lot of Aussie wines. I may need to keep an eye open for it. — 12 years ago

Jansz Wine Company

Premium Cuvée Tasmania Sparkling White Blend

First tasted this #NewYearsEve #wine at an Aussie wine seminar at the SWE Conference. Loved it then... Without palate fatigue, love it now!

This Tasmanoise Sparkler is clear to pale gold. The bubble are hyperactive. The mouthfeel is clean and dry white cherry up front with a finishing yellow apple. The finish sinks and and the flavor lingers nicely. The bubbles are a bit aggressive overall.

A great change up from Champagne. I think it's great for the price. Opened 12/31/15

Moss Wood

Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 1995

The democratic winner of our 1995 tasting. Has been my personal Aussie Cabernet for some time. Jancis gave this vintage 19 points. Packed with all the Cabernet descriptors with the trademark Marg River herbaceousness. 19- — 12 years ago

Astralis Syrah 2008

Ryan Brazell
9.2

Classic "big" Aussie notes of prune and Port, but with some interesting secondary aromatics. Minor (if any?) acidification. I dig it, even if I can really only have a glass. — 10 years ago
