Winemaker dinner at Nari. Fabulous and if not tied for WOTN it might win in some cases. — 18 days ago

Deep ruby color. Balanced tannins, with blackberry and dark fruit on the palate, then comes the spice, espresso, and cocoa on the finish. Love this wine for the price. — a month ago

Winemaker dinner at Nari. Wine of the night? Tried several times throughout the night and while it was clearly dark, it was not oxidixed and tasted great — 18 days ago

+1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A splendid still deep dark ruby red color. On the nose: brambly dark cherry, mocha Java, worn leather, floral, cloves. Taste: silky, layered, savory mouthfeel wine with dark plum/cherry, dark currants, dark chocolate, graphite, and a peppery dried herb, dusty tannin long finish. YUM! Should drink well for more years. — a month ago

Winemaker dinner at Nari. This was clearly young and tasted next to the 2011 missing the depth of maturity — 18 days ago

9.2

See previous note 105 weeks ago. Australia’s premier example of a straight Viognier. Notes of Apricot and Honeysuckle. Quite luscious on the palate with low acid. Finishes with a skinnsy bitter note which is quite refreshing. — a month ago

This really leans into the darker aspect of Cab. Dark cassis, loads of dark crushed stone, baker’s chocolate, dark iodiney savory notes. Intense in the mouth, but with surprisingly nice acids for its 14.9 frame. Rich, but bone dry. Still tannic, but it’s soft. — 2 months ago
