New Year’s Eve courtesy the Higgins. Decanted a couple of hours, but still so young. Very promising! — 5 years ago

Bold and brash. Pepper, dried dead flowers, Mexican cocoa powder. Pepper. American Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This is that girl that I always want to ask out but can’t! Ugh. — 6 years ago

Hands down, my favorite Marlborough Sauvignon. Grassy, sassy, and a big “fuck you” to the establishment. This wine packs a brash punch but throws in enough sweet caramel to put the masses at ease. Total Wine, buy again to celebrate those moments that the younger generation decides enough is enough. — 6 years ago

This Brash Higgins stuff's pretty delicious. Different definitely. Savoury, deep fruited wines. A touch of VA coming through in this Shiraz, but it only adds complexity here. Fruit cake, plum, indian spices, meat, earth.

Note: Vinification that would draw out some frowns. Freaking 6 months on skin, letting some flor form on the surface post-ferment. I'm sure it's gnarly on it's way to the finish product, but it didn't turn out too bad. Probably a good dose of sulphur to clean it up? Or some skimming off the surface wine. Nevertheless, I liked it. — 7 years ago

Yes yes and more yes. One of the more interesting and delicious wines I've had in quite some time. Look forward to crossing paths with this wine again soon!!

Big, but not brash. Untypical of pinot, but that’s what we enjoyed about this.
Ripe nose filled with smoke, charcoal and dense stone fruits. Extracted palate is almost flamboyant. Mid-palate displays sweet herbs and complex wood treatment. Finishes with cloves, and oddly, lavender. We love idiosyncratic juice like this. — 4 years ago

Similar notes to earlier tastings, this wine is big and brash. Opened for 90 minutes no decant. I get the maraschino 🍒 for sure along with abundant candied red berries. Watch out for the 15.1 ABV. Snuck up on me tonight 😳! — 6 years ago

Still young and brash but drinking nicely after opening. Maybe tobacco. Dry as the Sahara, in a good way — 6 years ago

This was supposed to be a celebration wine, it unfortunately became a wine of commiseration yesterday after our home town team lost the GF. — 7 years ago

Sweet raspberry, leather, baking spices. I like this bouquet.

Very fruit forward. Honestly, wait for it... watermelon. This is straight up jammy, picnic wine.

Unreserved, brash, jammy. Bae got this for me for my burrday. It’s not amazing, but it’s hella drinkable. Shh, don’t tel her I said that, though. — 4 years ago

This has a full body and nose. Nose of tropical fruits, pineapple, Meyer lemon, maybe a bit of fresh peeled almond too. You can almost smell the acidity, which coats the palate (not in a brash way). There’s a creaminess that sits on the tongue. There’s a bit of honey as well. The acidity mellows with time in the glass. — 6 years ago

Serious wiggling in my nether regions. Deep, robust, yet carrying a freshness that I don’t often correlate with Aussie wines. I admit complete dismissal of their wine and this is the perfect smack in the face. Humility is a good thing sometimes. Deep hue, bursting with ripe and slightly baked black berry, plum fruit. Espresso, bitter cocoa, wood smoke, baked leather, cool herbs, spice, game, warmth earth. Savory and fruit perfectly mingle about, tannins are ripe, soft, yet giving enough foundation and posture to carry all that richness it has. Hides its alc very well. Great wine that is hitting all the right buttons with BBQ. Omensetter Vineyard. — 6 years ago

Tannic with nice fruit notes, not big and brash but not muted or boring. Paired well with a meat heavy dinner, and rich dessert. — 7 years ago
