Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard Syrah 2012

Crafted in the Northern Rhone peppery spicy style- a style which I like. This wine had nice peppery, dried meat notes but lacked mid palate fruit oomph. Medium to light bodied - a Syrah for Pinot drinkers. In the same genre I preferred the recently tasted Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier. — 8 years ago

Ceoltoiri Grenache Blend 2011

With its heavyweight tannins and white pepper punch, this is more Gigondas than CNdP. Surprisingly bright fruit despite the vintage. Needs air now and a couple more years might see it improve. A nice drop. — 9 years ago

Canberra District Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2015

As a personal preference, I love the fact that this white isn't sweet! Beautiful. — 9 years ago

Mount Langi Ghiran

Langi Shiraz 2009

Always one my favourite Aussie wines for decades. Probably Australia's best exponent of a Cote Rotie style (with Clonakilla Sh/V). Had become expensive of late and it's little brother Cliff Edge is better value for money but at the top level this is still brilliant. 18+ — 9 years ago

Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2011

A light, refreshing wine; citrus aromas with a crisp finish. Very drinkable. — 10 years ago

Domaine Georges Vernay

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2007

Notes of Liquorice and white pepper. Medium weight at best but this is a wine style I enjoy. Similar to Bests 2011 Bin 1 which won the Jimmy Watson trophy. Langhi Ghiran and Clonakilla supercede the St Joseph in the same genre. 17.5. — 9 years ago

Canberra District Chardonnay 2003

Wow! Really fun wine. Still a bit tight. First time seeing green in a white - zesty, ebullient, great for a wine of any age. Blind I would have thought it was less than half its age. — 9 years ago
