Lourens River Valley Cabernet Franc Blend 2011

December 21st 2019. This is a big bold wine. Smoke, bitter, oak, and strong alcohol taste. Smells of ripe berries and tobacco. Full-bodied. I absolutely loved this wine. — 4 years ago

Cape Mentelle

Margaret River Chardonnay 2009

Wow; how maturing #margaretriver #chardonnay does vary; see recent #cullen #2009 which was brassy, this gleaming green and plenty of it; #cullen restrained, this #capementelle is butch; nose power of smoke or burnt things, bottle age nose not simple, evidence of lees/ mlf from the smoke; palate chunky, lime juice, burnt toast you taste in 30 yo Eden Valley riesling; juicy smoke; rich, not terribly drying, acid taut, 13%, AUD 35, full bodied, no apparent reason for it to fade for a while; contained power. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours — 8 years ago

This beautiful Chardonnay takes you through a story ...it melts in your mouth at the ending and has a beautiful journey to get there. Yum! I can taste the minerality and the limestone ... A wonderful combo of butter and nuttiness. — 9 years ago

Cape Mentelle

Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Great Bordeaux Blend from the Margaret River in Western Australia. Nice nose with hints of red fruit, licorice, and spice. The taste is somewhat old world, there is fruit, but it seems more earthy to me. Nice change from the big Fruit bombs I have been drinking lately. — 9 years ago
