9.0

Nice, young, tight knit. Light on Franc herbaceousness, but firm and fine in its structure. Best in 1-5 years from now. — 4 months ago

Giesen

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Pale lemon with pronounced aromas of grapefruit, guava, and passionfruit. Herbal notes of green bell pepper, grass, and jalapeño, with hints of white pepper and lychee. Lime and melon are noticeable on the palate.

Dry with a medium body and high acidity, it is well-balanced with a long and zesty finish. A youthful and vibrant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Loveblock

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Presented to me double blind, powerful peach and pineapple fruit cup with jalapeño and bright citrus fruit. Acid was medium+ and so was alcohol. I was between Riesling from Wachau or Sauvignon Blanc…when with the Austria call. Dang…Kim Crawford is making some fun wines with Loveblock. Drink now with hedonism. — 5 months ago

Could drink this frequently. Nice acidity, well manicured lawn, slight grapefruit held up very well to two different dishes but easily quaffable on its own. Crusher! — 7 months ago

Vat 1 Hunter Valley Semillon 2011

A mid straw yellow in colour. Aromas are lemon and lime, lemongrass, mineral, wet hay with toastiness and lanolin starting to emerge at 13 years of age. Light bodied but great intensity - a richer texture for a Semillon, bearing in mind that this wine sees no oak at all - stainless steel all the way. Only 11% alcohol. Luckily I have 4 bottles left - a cellar life extending to 2030+. — 5 months ago

Villa Maria

Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

While its name doesn’t sound like an SB from NZ, it sure tastes like one. Pronounced passion fruit, a little green apple, and more lime than other Sauv Blancs. Refreshing and great value at TJs. — 5 months ago

Clonakilla

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2014

An absolutely alluring nose with cloves, spice, dried meat and a trace of pepper. Barely medium weight on the palate. Barb loved it for that. Very different to Barossa or McLaren Vale Shiraz. Without a doubt the best Shiraz Viognier blend in Australia although Yarra Yering Dry Red No. 2 (with a few other Rhone varieties in the blend) would give it a run for its money. Really very good with a few years to go but pretty much at its peak. — 6 months ago
