Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Sunday Lunch with Roast Lamb. Deep Ruby in colour - very dense. A very Margaret River Cabernet - nose with herbs and a little mint. Barb thought a bit of capsicum (bell pepper) on the nose. On the medium bodied balanced palate the tannins are quite soft yet persistent. Leeuwin Estate better known for its outstanding Art Series Chardonnay has been working hard with the red varieties and it shows. — a month ago

I had the chance to taste couple older vintages (01 and 03) and was quite impressed. While price for the Chard is approaching $100 here, the Cab is still very reasonably priced. @Bob McDonald .

@Ming L Yes, the pricing differential between the 2 Cuvées is much the same here in Australia.

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023

My style of Sauvignon Blanc. Nice tropical notes and freshness. I still think the 2022 vintage is slightly better than the 2023.  — 2 months ago

One Sixteen Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2019

Crisp but balanced with citrus and crème brûlée. Great acidity for food but has enough flavor to stand on it’s own. — 2 months ago

Heritage Vines Sonoma County Zinfandel 2022

Aroma is woody. Long barrel aging. Lots of cocoa and vanilla with those lovely tobacco, pepper, and a kiss of smoke. Then the fruit aromas kick in with plum and currant. Definitely more of a medium body and a stronger acidity with a nice oak tannic finish. Of the more moderate body zins the heavy oak makes this one more favorite. — 4 months ago

Estate Bottled Goldridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Smoky, plummy, spicy. Pretty crushable now but a decade+ aged bottle might unlock a secret, or two, of the universe. nicely done. 04.23.25. — 6 months ago

I love everything about these guys with the exception of the label. Not sure why it bugs me but I just wish it was a bit more modern.

Hobbs back to back. Medium gold color. Stone fruit, minerals, and subtle honey on the nose. Great texture with medium plus depth. Same elements on the palate with great complexity. Love it!! — a month ago

Grgich Hills Estate

Fumé Blanc Napa Valley Dry Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Pale lemon with complex aromas of fresh ripe citrus and tropical fruits with zesty floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, lime citrus and melon with lemongrass and floral herb notes. Long finish ending with juicy fruit, herb and citrus notes, lively acidity with mineral character. Outstanding! Will reward with a few years of age! — 2 months ago

Bevan Cellars

Dry Stack Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2024

2024 vintage. Lighter but with concentration for days. A different style with a suggestion of limoncello. Generally dislike Sauvie B but this came to play and was the standout of this year’s Bevan Cellars releases I tasted (3 whites/7 reds). 08.22.25 — 2 months ago
