Amazingly found this bottle at rustic pizza, Clare Valley at a $130. Thought this might be our only chance to drink a Wendouree so grabbed it. Beautifully fresh fruited, lovely balance, crisp acidity, medium bodied. Black/red fruited with violet highlights, spice, earth, eucalypt, silky dry tannin. The longer we sat with it the leather and tannin became quite firm, perhaps overwhelming some of the earlier fruit flavours. Drunk too young but still memorable. — 4 years ago

Superstar of old-style Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Once it was very tannic and drying it’s now evolved into a wine of sweet pipe tobacco and cherry cola. Still dry, elegant and perfumed — 7 years ago

Rich and oaky, there’s a lot of black fruit and gravel in the nose. In the mouth, it’s dark and ripe, very intense but not super heavy. Needs steaks, and, fortunately, that’s what we’re having! — 8 years ago

2021/4. I feel like de Villaine’s Chardonnays have a bit more depth and savor than they did a decade ago - and they were certainly good then. This was lovely, with lots of fresh fruit and acidity but some sneaky stone, butter and hazelnut lurking. — 5 years ago

Very tasty. Sweet roses, vanilla, baked bread, and very ripe red fruit. I’d drink this daily...as long as it pairs well to food. I’m curious how this will develop with age. — 5 years ago

2020/8/25 with pork and crab gumbo. Forest floor and mushroom notes but also bright red berry fruit and lively acidity, simultaneously light and substantial. De Villaine is always, always lovely, and this bottle also reminded how well good Chalonnaise wine can age. — 5 years ago
