Serrat

Fourre-Tout Yarra Valley Barbera Blend 2017

Made by Tom Carson of Yabby Lake fame in the Mornington Peninsula. Tom is also a respected Show Judge in demand around Australia. Serrat is his personal label with French wife, Nadege. They also import a range of Burgundies. “Fourre Tout”- the English translation meaning “Catch All”. This is a field blend of Barbera, Malbec, Grenache, Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo. Mid Ruby in colour. Plummy aromas with black and red fruits. Strangely can see the spicy Malbec on the nose more than the other varieties. I was expecting this to be a more frivolous red than it turned out to be. This had good structure and tannins - would benefit from a few years in the cellar. Went well with Chicken Pie. Footnote: Serrat is a Catalan word meaning High Density Planting. Serrat has 8000 vines per Hectare producing less than a bottle per vine. Next in a few years. — 6 years ago

Barbazul Vino de la Tierra de Cádiz Merlot Blend 2013

Ripe red fruit on the #schnoz. Molasses taffy. Paired perfectly with the season 5 finale of Downton Abbey. Cheers Mr Carson — 9 years ago

Artemisio IGT Cabernet Franc 2010

Interesting take on an international varietal by Swiss transplant to Etna, some black currant on the nose and spicy leather on the palate but no unicorns @Carson. Tannins give it a nice long finish. Not bad stuff. Unsure of QPR, since this was a gift from the vigniaolo to my wife. — 10 years ago

Azienda Agricola Montevetrano

Montevetrano di Silvia Imparato 2011

Apparently this dynamic. blend of Aglianico, Cab, and Merlot was the Cats Pajamas in the 90s when Super Tuscans were all the rage - this is a big wine with spicy leather and firm tannins, will decant longer next time, may be a wedding gift @Carson — 9 years ago

Not a super Tuscan being from Campania, but in the same vain

Tenuta del Portale

Riserva Aglianico del Vulture

A wine @Carson would approve of. Cherry and spice, a good amount of spice. Subtle coffee undertones. This wine has a long velvety finish. — 10 years ago

Big Table Farm

Cattrall Brothers Vineyards Pinot Noir

Big Table Farm and a late night Monopoly challenge. This is very Burgundian in style and light on its feet. Mushroom, sour cherry, and a iron laden finish. @Carson Gray — 10 years ago

...to the "pros", as Carson used to say to Ed... "Don't try that with me Bozo"...this is another great Mueller Pinot, Russian River. 2016 was a good year for August Recher, another single vineyard. Great nose balance legs fruit fruit mouthful succulent palate rich...typical of the better (but still not best) Mueller's. — 7 years ago
