Won the Trophy for Best Shiraz at the National Wine Show 2012. Fruit from the Gundagai region and starting to put this region on the map. Peppery red fruits and starting to develop some leather notes at 7 years. A nice counterpoint to the lush Barossa styles showing the versatility of Shiraz. — 8 years ago
Must decant/air for 3+ hrs.
Opens up to a sumptuous wine. Dark plum coloured. Earthen nose. Leather, must, dried violets but with subtle blue berries. Fantastic mouth feel. New world with forward fruits heavy and rich. Vanilla, licorice and cola. Medium plus tannins. Would not pair with rich meat or steak. Hard and semi-hard cheese should be good. — 8 years ago
Was a 9.2 yesterday, but after sitting overnight it definitely improved. The wood seems more integrated and the whole thing is more vibrant. Nice balance of fruit and earth. I'll hang on to my other bottle of this for awhile. — 8 years ago
Pretty, light straw-green. Wonderful minerality and crispness with acid for days. Tart citrus, floral, 2 stroke engine oil (in a good way). Solid Riesling from Australia. — 9 years ago
Beautiful Aussie Riesling. Dry as the Sahara, complex and acidic. Will get more of this. — 9 years ago
Amazing wine! — 7 years ago
Nice Chardonnay, but a little petroly and sweet. Great mix of white fruit flavors and an elegant nose of pear and tropical fruit. — 8 years ago

Good thirst quencher for winter. Confectionery notes. Short term 16.5. — 9 years ago
Black plum, current, leather, smokey...really awesome! — 10 years ago
Pre-baked Apple pie that you're just putting into the oven. Sour apple, pear, dough and cinnamon spice. Macadamia nut in the mouth. Holding true to my belief that 2013 is the best Chard vintage in the recent run — 7 years ago
Real good. Talc, floral, lemon grass, grapefruit and lime. Lengthy in the palate, slight phenolic grip along with a saltyness all providing some real interest — 8 years ago

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this $13 (at HEB) Pinot. Can easily play with the big boys. Fruity but not sweet. Paired well with salmon and beef. Versatile. — 9 years ago
