This was a bargain buy from a discount supermarket but comparing tonight against a Cockburn special reserve this has a much broader smooth flavour of ripe berries. Ideal with cheese but would potentially accompany rich desserts. Perhaps lay a bottle away for Christmas pud — 8 years ago
Really digging the scents of cherry, pie spice, and roses. Strangely similar to the potpourri pot on our powder room toilet, but that's where the similarities end and I'm truly enjoying this in a much different manner. Acids are in the forefront followed by some medium weight cherry/ripe strawberry pie spice. With time takes on enhanced complexities. Good stuff. — 9 years ago

After seeing James Maynard Keenan's documentary "Blood Into Wine" it was time to try a couple of their vintages. Luckily the Campbell Liquor Store in St. Albert had a few bottles :) — 13 years ago
90° at 7pm calls for more Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
.
Cloudy Bay was founded in 1985 by David Hohnen of Margaret River’s Cape Mentelle along with its first winemaker, Kevin Judd, who would go on to spend 25 years there before creating his own label, Greywacke. Judd is widely considered as the pioneer responsible for elevating New Zealand wine to its current status. Judd also happens to be one of the best wine photographers in the world (I highly recommend his ‘The Landscape of New Zealand Wine’).
.
According to Master of Wine Bob Campbell “the genesis for Greywacke Wild Sauvignon was Cloudy Bay Te Koko; a funky, barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc that bent all the rules when it was made in 1992 and initially sold only through the cellar door. Greywacke Wild Sauvignon is a blend from 10 different Marlborough vineyards which are machine-harvested at night. After pressing the juice is settled before being pumped into mostly old barrels and fermented using indigenous yeasts (about 15-20 different strains). The wine undergoes a partial malolactic fermentation and lees stirring.”

Incredible aromatics... an almost vibrant herbaceousness... red bell pepper, grapefruit zest, tangerine, apricot, and cucumber, with a silky smooth mouthfeel unlike most Sauvignon Blancs. Extraordinary. — 7 years ago


Freeman Vineyard & Winery is the fruition of a 20-year dream shared by Ken and Akiko Freeman to craft cool climate CA Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Aged for 11 months in French oak (22% new), with grapes from vineyards Rayhill (46%), Campbell (29%) & Yu-Ki Estate (25%). Aromas of berry fruit and exotic spices. On the palate blackberry and cherry with tobacco and tea spice, smooth tannins, well balanced on lingering finish ending with earthy tones. Will keep in cellar for some time. Small prod. 1000 cases. — 8 years ago

Smells like a Cockburn, or maybe it’s that nuttiness of a bone-dry Sherry. Nuts and gym socks sitting in rubber. Does not disappoint, coming through in the end with a sharp zing of energy and a finish that lasts to infinity; like a Sherry would. Really good. — 8 years ago
Cracked the neck whilst reorganising my cellar so was forced to snap it off and decant before it spilled all over the floor...
A spectacular wine:-) I love these Cockburn bottlings - phenomenally robust corks that just keep the wine alive indefinitely. This was a lovely dense brick colour with a nose of cedar, lavender, hints of tobacco, sour blackberries, and mulch. Lovely balance with an edge of fine acidity and a hint of tannin at the end. Great stuff! — 8 years ago

She snagged me unknowingly from behind spinning spices from both far and near barely dressed in burgundy satin and a slightly nasty soft silk which I feel, inhale, turning her my way, her eyes engage pulling me in close, then closer her lips on mine she drips then slowly touches, thoroughly seducing as her silk clings, clutches as her blueberry essence goes red - the music changes a note, then a riff, and then she dives her fingers gingerly wave reminding me to have another hit... — 9 years ago

After an afternoon on the lake, we settled in for some pasta...and some Pinot. DFV seems to over deliver every time I pull a bottle. Beautifully textured, elegant and creamy raspberry and subtle earthiness. Fabulous blend from two distinct vineyards, Horseshoe Bend and Campbell Ranch. — 7 years ago
