A restrained nose with some camphor, pencil lead, and dried oregano....the palate jumps up with dark, muddled fruit, white pepper, and a kirsch liquor dancing in the background....moderate tannins show up with the slowly evolving finish...these a raf zins rarely disappoint.... — 7 years ago

Legs, 9/10. Smells spicy, heavy cherry on the nose. So smooth!!! Tannic, but not overbearing. Cherries, oak on taste. Love this one. — 7 years ago

Greg Hobbs featured opening wine for us at The Artisans of Barossa. This is his Tango for the two grapes in the blend...Shiraz and Viognier. The two make for an excellent wine that just kept dancing better and better as they opened up. Greg was a Police Officer for 10 years before buying property in Barossa. Quite a transition! Greg's property right next to Chris Ringland's. — 9 years ago
Juicier and richer than expected, but deliciously balanced with minerals and acid. — 9 years ago
Gorgeous, deep golden color with small soft bubbles. Bright and airy on the nose with just the softest hints of brioche, lemon and peach. Crisp, bright and creamy on the palate with a great mousse texture. Surprisingly fresh flavors of peach, tangerine and lemon lead to just a touch of brioche and a big burst of crisp acidity. The finish is long and creamy with lingering bubbles dancing on the tongue. — 10 years ago
Color of grayish purple, quite clear with a bit orange note. Nose is balanced fragrance with dried strawberry, spice, tobacco leaves, cured meat, and more sweet berries. Taste is light, and follows the nose, right amount of acidity and tannins, zest, just a bit sweetness shows her subtlety, more cured meaty note dancing with the berry note. Aftertaste shows backbone of tannins, medium long with savory spice, acidity and sweetness. Pretty good. — 6 years ago
Enjoyed this at the Townshend (pre ASH). Alanna picked and remembered we had previously had it. Perfect balance, floral notes, touch of residual sugar. — 7 years ago
Good, and much sweeter than I expected. — 8 years ago
Fine line ghost peach color. Short toasted nose with a beautiful fresh strawberry palate dancing into a memory ( like biting into a red delicious Washington Apple, over plump and perfect, on a country side road) : A Structured, elegant rose, with razor wire nerve: Wish I'd had another bottle — 9 years ago
