Broken Stones Red Rhone Blend 2010

Monday night pull. Idiot friend wanted wine with burgers. He said “it’s red meat”. Meh, rather have a coke. Good juice. Cork was soft. Enjoyable but maybe better sooner? I won’t know. — 18 days ago

CdR Paso Robles Petite Sirah Blend

Rhône and rigor... yummy, earthy, umami... mushrooms and broth. Light tannins. The edges of dark fruit as they stretch towards vegetation. An adventure I’d embark on again. — 3 years ago

Clouds Rest

Femme Fatale Estate Grown Pinot Noir 2016

Quite surprising. Smelled of black currants, blackberries. Tasted of prunes with nice acid at the end and not much tannins. Really dark fruit. — 7 months ago

McLaren Vale Grenache 2021

I made no notes at the restaurant so doing this from memory. Firstly when the menu is degustation, I never get the matching wine option, preferring to choose a bottle that goes with all courses as much as possible. This light to medium bodied Grenache fits the bill and ticks all the boxes - best district for Grenache in Australia; old vine Grenache, a terrific vintage in South Australia; and a hands off, alternate producer. Grenache can be such a chameleon from barely medium weight with stalky red fruits like this one, with a lovely red floral perfume, to full bodied versions like Rayas and Bonneau Celestins. Barb and I really enjoyed this. Also, Delectable, this was a Grenache Carignan blend - not offered in your database. Continuing our road trip through the Mornington Peninsula. — 5 months ago

Yes , David. I like what we call BYOs in Australia where we can “Bring Your Own” with a corkage charge. A great idea!

Saxum Vineyards

Broken Stones Paso Robles Syrah Blend 2020

2020 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 3.5 hours. Ripe nose full of black fruits. Hint of clove. Heavy body. Some tannic presence but still on the "smoother" side of the ledger. Remarkable concentration throughout. 7.27.23. — 10 months ago
